Product Description
The Whirlpool WP8572717 serves as a washer start capacitor, an essential part that powers your washing machine. Consider a car's starting motor, the start capacitor in the washing machine performs a similar function. It provides a brief surge of high current to the motor, delivering the initial push necessary for it to overcome inertia and begin spinning the wash drum. This capacitor is a cylindrical device typically discovered near the combustion chamber in the washer's base. Once the motor reaches its operating speed, the capacitor is no longer necessary, and the primary source of electricity takes over. A faulty start capacitor may render it hard or impossible to ignite your washer.
