Whirlpool WP8572717 Genuine OEM Top Load Washer Start Capacitor

This Top Load Washer Start Capacitor briefly increases the voltage to the motor to help it start. If your washer's motor won't start or hums, you may need to replace this part. When replacing it, consider using Whirlpool's high-quality and easy-to-install replacement capacitor. To begin the replacement process, remove the washer console, and then remove the spring clips that hold the body to the washer frame. Transfer the old foam shield, which holds the old capacitor, to the new part before installation. Specifications: 189-227MFD, 125VAC, 60Hz. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as a multi-screwdriver and a putty knife, some disassembly of the washer, and novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner* (item W10501250) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
