Washing Machine - Motor Run Capacitor
- Capacitors used in washing machines are typically motor run capacitors, which are designed to help start and run the motor efficiently.
- These capacitors are usually rated for continuous duty and are designed to handle the high current demands of the washing machine motor.
- If you have a specific washing machine model in mind, it’s best to refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for the exact type and rating of the capacitor used.
- Washing Machine has two motors for separate functions each with its own capacitor.
- These two capacitors are nowadays housed in one casing ,with 4 terminals .
