• The appliance may overheat or display error codes

Using a Genuine OEM part like WP8572717 ensures correct voltage and capacitance, preserving motor health, extending appliance life, and maintaining safe operation.

A faulty start capacitor in a top-load washer can cause several noticeable issues:

• Washer won’t start or is slow to start

• Motor hums but does not turn
