Easy Repair, love PartSelect troubleshooting!!
The replacement part was very similar to OEM Capacitor I replaced. Watched video on PartSelect on how to change part. Once I received, had the new capacitor in place and the washer running in 20 minutes or less. When you have a problem with your appliances, this is the website you need to use!

Super easy repair
The repair was super easy and the Capacitor was installed in last than 15mins and my washer was back in operational condition. My wife did a small load and said the washer work better than it has in a couple years. Thanks to a YouTube video I was able to save myself $$$ by not purchasing a new washer. Thank You PartSelect for a great part, decent price and good shipping ????

Washer Not spinning and motor buzzing
Most washers I looked at do not use a start capacitor but my model did and after testing the capacitor it showed open and was slightly deformed. If you have a this problem the capacitor is located behind the front panel about half way up on the right side zip tied to the side of the washer. It is always good to check the capacitor before spending big bucks for a motor you may not need.

Capacitor failed (cracked, split, and melted a little), washer would not spin and laundry room filled up with smoke
Went to PartSelect website, troubleshot the problem I was having for the model washer I have. Ordered part, once it arrived, I had it installed and all back together in less than 30 minutes. Washer has been running with no problems since the repair. PartSelect is awesome!
