Refrigerator Compressor Run Capacitor

This capacitor provides a boost of electrical energy to help the compressor motor run more efficiently and smoothly. It stores and discharges charge to stabilize current flow, particularly during startup.

Key Features

• Acts as a starting aid and smoothing device for the compressor’s electrical circuit.

• Typically rated for around 5 µF to 10 µF at ~440–480 VAC (verify for your specific model).

• Encased in a cylindrical metal or plastic housing with insulated terminals for secure wiring.

• Built to OEM specification to match current, voltage, and mounting requirements.

• Helps reduce compressor stress and electrical noise by providing phase shift and stable power.

• Compatible with many refrigerator makes and models, especially Whirlpool, Kenmore (Whirlpool-built), Maytag, and affiliated brands.

• Always verify compatibility by matching this capacitor with your refrigerator’s model number and original spec before ordering
