WPW10350564 Whirlpool Run Capacitor for Refrigerators and Freezers

The Run Capacitor for refrigerators and freezers is a crucial component designed to support the compressor motor in various brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, this original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part is suitable for certain Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models. The primary role of the capacitor is to deliver an initial power boost to activate the compressor at the start of each cooling cycle.

Over time, the capacitor may fail due to the breakdown of its dielectric material or if moisture seeps into the casing.

Indications of a malfunctioning capacitor are:
- The inability of the refrigerator compressor to activate or complete refrigeration cycles
- Noticeable humming sounds emanating from the refrigerator's rear
- Inconsistent cooling and variable temperatures inside the refrigerator

Using this OEM capacitor for replacements in compatible refrigerator models from KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Admiral, and Kenmore can help maintain consistent and efficient refrigeration performance.
