Capacitor Replacement

Refer to Figure 18 for these procedures.

!WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

•Disconnect the washer's power supply cord from the household power supply before servicing the capacitor.

•The capacitor is capable of storing voltage that could be lethal. Do not touch the bare capacitor terminals.

•Before removing the capacitor make sure the stored electrical charge has been dissipated by placing a 100 ohm 2 watt resistor across the terminals or placing a screwdriver blade between the terminals and grounding the screwdriver to the tub support for several seconds.

Failure to follow these procedures could result in serious injury or death.

1.Disconnect the water and drain hose from the washer.

2.Lay the washer on its front on a soft surface to protect the cabinet finish.

3. Carefully discharge the capacitor.

4.	Remove the hex head screw securing the capaci-
	tor mounting strap and remove the strap and capacitor
	from the washer.
5.	Slide the red and yellow connectors from the old ca-
	pacitor and place them on the new one.
6.	Position the capacitor so the terminals are easy to get
	to and the wires are not stressed. Secure the ca-
	pacitor to the tub support with the mounting strap and
	hex head screw removed earlier.	Fig. 18

7.Stand the washer upright.

8.Connect the water and drain hoses to the washer.
