Start Capacitor
The start capacitor on your washer gives the motor an extra burst of energy when it needs it most. It's a small and inexpensive part that usually only needs to be replaced by a professional repair service if your washing machine isn't starting up correctly or running sluggishly.
Run Capacitor
The run capacitor is a separate part from the starter capacitor that provides a continuous stream of electricity to your washer's motor. It has a few different functions, but it's mainly used to provide a constant flow of power that prevents the washer from overheating and causing damage to other parts.
