Function & Importance of the Start Capacitor

The start capacitor provides the initial electrical boost required to start the washer’s motor. In top-load washers, the motor needs a surge of energy to overcome inertia and begin spinning the drum.

Key points about the start capacitor:

• Ensures the washer starts promptly and reliably

• Prevents motor strain and overheating

• Maintains smooth cycle operation and proper spin speed

Using a Genuine OEM part like W10804665 is critical for safety, performance, and longevity. Non-OEM or incorrectly rated capacitors can cause motor failure, erratic starts, or even electrical hazards.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Start Capacitor

If your washer is experiencing any of the following, the start capacitor may need replacement:

• Washer won’t start or hums without spinning

• Drum spins slowly or fails to reach full speed

• Washer trips circuit breakers or blows fuses

• Intermittent starting problems, especially during heavy loads

• Burnt or leaking capacitor visible upon inspection

Will replacing this part fix my issue?
Yes—if the washer motor struggles to start or the drum does not spin properly, replacing a faulty start capacitor like W10804665 is often the definitive solution.
