Tumble Dryer Capacitor - SPARES2GO - 2807961400

A start capacitor provides the initial electrical boost needed to get the tumble dryer's motor spinning when it's switched on. Without a functioning capacitor, the motor may hum or fail to start altogether.

Common signs include the dryer motor humming but not rotating, the dryer failing to start when the button is pressed, or a weak start that doesn't lead to full operation.

This specific capacitor (part number 2807961400) is designed for Logik LHP10W25 and LHP8W25 models. Always check your dryer's model number and refer to its manual or the original part number for confirmation.

This is a 9uF (9 microfarad) start capacitor.

Installation requires basic knowledge of appliance repair and electrical safety. If you are not comfortable working with electrical components, it is recommended to have a qualified technician perform the replacement.

Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before starting any work. Capacitors can store electrical charges even when unplugged, so discharge it safely before handling if unsure.

Ensure the capacitor is correctly wired. Check that the replacement capacitor has the correct microfarad (uF) rating. The issue may lie with another component, such as the motor itself or the timer, and professional diagnosis may be required.

This is a classic symptom of a faulty start capacitor. Verify the new capacitor is securely connected and has the correct uF rating. If the problem persists, the motor might be seized or have internal damage.

Ensure all wires are firmly attached to the capacitor's push-on terminals. If the terminals on the new capacitor are loose, consider using small wire connectors for a more secure fit, ensuring proper insulation.
