We’ll talk you through how to successfully replace the motor capacitor without damaging your tumble dryer. Okay time for an eSpares Top Tip now…place a cloth at the bottom of the machine by the motor before you unscrew the nut (this is because the edges of the tumble dryer are extremely sharp). Many people end up installing flourescent light bulb capacitors as they are cheaper than motor run capacitors and they are not up to the job, install the right one first time for long lasting results.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.This can usually be found either on or behind the door frame, or behind the filter flap at the bottom of the appliance.

Perfect item, sorted my dryer issue, I no longer need to manually spin the drum to get the machine started. The motor and capacitor is located behind a small panel near the bottom of the machine, and this panel needs to be taken off by simply removing the screws that are holding it in place.The original was in a metal housing where this is plastic but I went ahead and installed it any way.
