Universal Appliance Motor Run Capacitor – 6µF
The Universal 6µF Appliance Motor Run Capacitor is a replacement AC capacitor suitable for selected washing machines, tumble dryers, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, fans, pumps and other appliances that use a matching 6µF motor capacitor.
The capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help the connected motor start correctly and continue running efficiently. A weak or faulty capacitor may cause the motor to hum, struggle to start, rotate slowly, overheat or stop operating under load.
Product Features
- Capacitance: 6µF
- Part type: Appliance motor run capacitor
- Capacitor type: Non-polarised AC capacitor
- Suitable for selected appliance motors, pumps and fans
- Helps provide the correct phase shift for motor operation
- Supports reliable motor starting and continuous running
- Suitable as a replacement where the capacitance, voltage and connections match
- Replacement for weak, swollen, leaking, damaged or open-circuit capacitors
Common Symptoms This Part May Fix
- Motor humming but not starting
- Motor requiring assistance to begin rotating
- Motor starting slowly or intermittently
- Fan or pump rotating slower than normal
- Motor stopping when placed under load
- Motor becoming excessively hot
- Appliance operating intermittently
- Capacitor casing swollen, cracked or leaking
- Capacitance reading below the rated 6µF value
- Motor running normally after the original capacitor is replaced
Important Fitment Note
This is a universal-style 6µF motor run capacitor and is not suitable for every appliance. Before ordering, compare the 6µF capacitance, AC voltage rating, tolerance, terminal type, mounting method and physical dimensions with the original capacitor.
The replacement capacitor must have the same capacitance value. Its AC voltage rating must be equal to or higher than the rating specified for the original capacitor.
Capacitors may retain an electrical charge after the appliance has been disconnected. Safely discharge the original capacitor before handling or testing it.
