Manufactured by Whirlpool

This capacitor is also known as a run capacitor, and it is most often used in refrigerators and freezers. This part provides the voltage or energy current required to start the compressor and keep it running. It allows the compressor in your appliance to easily cycle on and off. Doing so enables the appliance to effortlessly maintain its internal temperature. If the capacitor is faulty your refrigerator or freezer might be too warm, or you may notice the compressor will hum, but it will not run. When replacing your capacitor, you should check the old one for any signs of damage, overheating, or arcing, as that may suggest there is a bigger problem with your appliance.

This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Kenmore, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Admiral, Roper, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Litton, Hoover, Norge, International, Caloric, Dacor, Thermador

This part works with the following products: Refrigerator, Freezer

This part fixes the following symptoms: Will Not Start | Fridge too warm | Freezer section too warm | Fridge and Freezer are too warm

Replaced fan in freezer twice since last fix (1 month) have water build up in fridge from freezer, could the heating element be getting to hot or staying on too long? Slight burning smell from inside fridge.
For model number MTF2142MEB00
Hi Steve, Thank you for your question. That could be it. I would suggest checking your defrost heater and also the thermostats as well. You can check both of those parts with a multimeter. Good luck with your repair.

The freezer is not cool enough and the fridge is freezing the food. Is this the relay switch or the 3 in one switch? Please help and what parts number is it. Thank you
For model number wrt1l1zyw01
Hello Barb, thank you for contacting us. That is the capacitor for the compressor. That could cause the freezer and fridge to get too warm. As well it could be the start relay PS11753018. It could also be the thermostat PS11756547 which could cause the fridge to be too cold. The capacitor and the start relay on the compressor can both be tested with a multi-meter. Hope this helps!

How to determine if the capacitor is bad or the combination start relay. The refrig and freezer compartments are warm after a power outage lasting about 5 hours.
For model number GD5NHAXMB00
Hi Roberto, Thank you for your question. To verify which part is causing the issue, you will to use a multimeter to check the continuity. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

In the past 2 weeks the refrigerator has been acting up. It will randomly turn off for a long period of time and will only turn back on if we un plug the machine from the electrical socket and plug it back in. It has done this sporadically in the past year and we did not think much of it, but now it seems to be doing this multiple times during the week. What would you suggest to fix/replace? Thanks!
For model number ER8AHMXRQ01
Hi Michael, Thank you for your question. There are a few parts that I could suggest checking first. You should test your run capacitor and your start relay that are both on your compressor. You may also have to check your thermostats as well. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi, my freezer is ok, but the refrigerator is not cold enough...it shows temperature of 60%... what do you think it is? Thank you for for help.
For model number WRT351SFYM00
Hi Maria, Thank you for the question. The first thing to check is the fan in the back of the freezer. It is good to make sure this fan is still running so it is blowing the cool air to the fresh food side of the appliance from the freezer. Also make sure the fan blades are clean and the coils on the back of the appliance are clean. They can have dust build up over time so it is a good idea to give them a good vacuuming. We also suggest the gasket around the door is properly sealing and not letting in any warm air. If all these areas seem ok then you may need to replace the Thermostat. Hope this helps!

My refrigerator stopped cooling but the freezer is perfect. Now I constantly hear a loud buzzing noise. What could it be?
For model number mfw2055yew02
Hi Amanda, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking the fan at the back of the freezer to make sure it is running and circulating the cold air to the Fridge. Hope this helps!

My freezer works fridge does not, opened it up, no ice buildup fan is running, no blockages, what could the problem be?
For model number ktrc22kkbl02
Hello Anthony, thank you for contacting us. The only thing that keeps the fridge cold is the air flowing from the freezer produced by the evaporator fan. It's possible that the fan is spinning but too slowly and the fan motor may need to be replaced. Hope this helps!

Refrigh does not turn on after a power outage. Popping sound hear when power came back. Tried menu screen pads and screen displays blue/black slanted lines. Refrig and freezer not keeping cold.
For model number KFIS20XVMS4
Hi Taira, Thank you for your question. If the refrigerator has not worked correctly since the power outage, you will need to determine where the popping sound is coming from to see if the part that is causing the noise is the one causing the issue. You should also check the capacitor, the start device and the electronic control board. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My front electronic panel comes on and off. Not allowing water or ice. Every once in a while the flapper on the ice/water opens ans closes and then the lights go off. The after a while they (lights) come back on. The regfrig seems to stay working. The ice maker continues to work all interior lights work all the time. Freser works any ideas?
For model number mfi2269vem1
Hi John, Thank you for your inquiry. There are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the compressor start relay, the refrigerator temperature control thermostat, the electronic control board, the temperature control board, the thermistor, the defrost timer and the compressor. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My refrigerator stopped cooling and the freezer section stopped freezing
I knew the chances of all the freon leaking out was unlikely so I looked at the wiring to the compressor and there was a capacitor and a starter/overload so i figured I would start there. I went on line and found the parts at this site and they were less than the minimum service call charge for a service tech so I figured what the heck let's give her a shot so I did give it a shot. I ordered the parts and they were there in less time than a service tech could come out and i installed the parts and guess what for 90.00 in parts and 15 minutes in time I repaired my refrigerator. Thanks guys, It took less time to order the parts than it did to make the repair so thanks, your website rocks and is very well designed so my hat is off to you guys!

Stopped cooling. Could hear compressor trying to kick on but would instantly shut off.
I researched everything that I heard and saw on this forum. I realized that I was seeing and hearing the same problems that everyone was having. So instead of being an idiot and taking the fridge to the curb, I decided to spend 86.00 including shipping/handling on 2 small parts (start relay and capacitor). Best money I have spent. Saved me over $1000.00+ THANK YOU!!!! The 2nd best thing was that the parts came in the next day. I didn't expect it for approx 3-4 days. Excellent website and excellent service!!!

I removed the back cover to gain access to the compressor. I unpluged the start device and cap from the compressor. Replaced the items with the new ones. Plugged in the refridge and it worked. Whirlpool/Kitchenaid appliances are problems. I won't buy another.

Fridge and freezer were not cooling- notices compressor would "click" off after 10 seconds
After repairing a similar refrigerator's ice maker a few years ago, I thought I'd try it again. After some brief research online the compressor tested ok. I ordered the start relay and run capacitor and cleaned the coils. The parts arrived promptly and I installed them without a hitch. The fridge has been working great.

Evaporator coil froze up - not going into defrost mode so no airflow from freezer to refrigerator
Used our booklet that came with the Amana refrigerator/freezer (side-by-side). Removed the necessary panels to access the parts. Used nutdriver and screw driver to replace the three parts. No special tools were required to replace the part and they were easily accessible after removing the panels.

Working like a charm now! Thanks to Part Select for carrying the parts, as Amana does not sell the parts anymore. It's a great side-by-side and we were so happy not to have to get rid of it due to not being able to buy parts.

Refrigerator and freezer was not "working " ,ice machine not working.
Removing the panels inside the freezer section was the most difficult ,because it is narrow,hard to fit your body inside compartment, in order to cut wires and to splice Bi-metal Defrost Thermostat wires (2 ) Watch the videos on the web site so you know where to start. First time I ever "repaired " a large appliance, saved me over $ 600.00 (that's what the people I bought the Refrigerator from wanted to charge me.) My parts cost 65.00 !!!!! My younger brother turned me onto the web site... , I'll be returning to the site and telling my friends about it. It's a total "rip off" what service organizations charge the general public these days from Car Dealer ships to the stores we purchase our appliances from. !!! Glad I still have my health and faculties to repair the essentials we have around our homes. !!!!

Simply move the appliance for access to the back side. Removed the lower metal access panel, locate the compressor ( black round object ) parts are on the left bottom of the compressor. Simply unplug the parts, and replace with new parts.The hard part was, getting my 72 year old body in position to do the job. As far as getting the right part, a young lady in Nova Scoita is the one to ask for help !! Ordered parts one day, and they were in my hands the next morning!!

Todays appliances are junk. Read the feedback from owners. Decided to buy and refurb an older unit.
Replaced these items to upgrade refrigerator. Also replaced ice maker, water valve and condensor fan motor and blade. Replaced worn or broken shelving parts. Total cost was worth the effort for the quality of finished product as compared to what is on the market today!

Clicking noise, getting louder. Then stopped cooling
1. Empty your fridge. Lighter is easier to move and this is the hardest step in the fix. 2. Move your fridge so you can get behind it. Unplug the fridge. 3. Use a 1/4in nut driver to remove the screws from the back panel. 4. Remove the back panel. 5. Locate the compressor (big cylinder, usually black) and find the capacitor (PS11757023) and start dev (PS11750123) plugged into the side of the compressor. 6. There is a steel spring restraint wire, remove this. 7. Remove the pin connector (plastic w/ wires going to it) by pressing and pulling gently. Remove the old capacitor and start dev. 8. Assemble the new capacitor and start dev to each other. 9. Plug the pin connector into the new replacement components. 10. Align the start dev to the location of the old components. There is a 3 pin outlet that aligns to the 3 plug holes on the start dev. Align the plug then push gently but firmly to seat the components back together. 11. Reinstall the restraint wire. 12. Reinstall the pack panel. 13. Put your refrigerator back in place and load it up! You're all done!

The freezer defrosted and everything on the top and the bottom spoiled
i had used your web site before and i read several problems that your readers had. i went to the back of the unit, removed the bottom cover and right there the i found the run capacitor and i chaged it. since i had only ordered this part to save money i went back and ordered the Start Device which when i took it off it was completely burned. the replacement part came labeled with 2 different compressor #, so i picked the one that i had and unpluged each wire. the part may differ from the one that it's in the unit but it worked when i pluged everything back on. it also helps to take a picture of everything before removing the wires in case you have to leave it and come back later. i hope to use this refrigerator another 10 years. thank you all for your help.

Replace compressor start relay
Open back panel bottom cover (4ea 1/4" metal screws) of appliance and located compressor. A little extra cleaning of all the dust accumulated over coils to allow better airflow. This was a lot more to do than just the relay, I had to elevate the fridge 6" or so to get access to the coils, tight area to get vacuum into. The relay is easy to reach then connected to compressor by contact Pins. Relay was secured by small wire clip, Removed wire clip and relay with Capacitor mounted to top was removed by pulling it straight out (with a little wiggling) and the two wire plug then removed. Needed a small screw driver to release pin locks on the plug. With relay removed it displayed same symptoms as noted on other repairs on the site. Lose insulator material fell out of relay and rattled. (not a good thing).. Before replacing selected the correct relay for this compressor (3 in kit) matches noted in instructions from kit and simply reversed the removal. It took a while for fridge to cool again. All works fine, maybe even a little better. Cleaning helps.
