WJ20X10193 - GE Refrigerator Capacitor

This GE Refrigerator Capacitor (WJ20X10193) is a genuine part specifically designed for use in GE refrigerators. Capacitors are crucial for the smooth operation of your refrigerator, storing and releasing electrical charges to help kickstart the compressor motor. This particular capacitor is located near the compressor, ready to give it the necessary temporary surge of power to overcome inertia and start spinning from a standstill position. Once the compressor is up and running, the capacitor steps back, discharging its stored electrical energy and becoming a passive circuit component. It features conducting plates separated by insulating dielectric material, a design that's essential for effective energy storage and release. If your refrigerator's compressor fails to start, a failed capacitor might be the culprit. Visible signs such as a bulged or popped capacitor indicate it's time for a replacement, ensuring your refrigerator operates efficiently once again. Please double-check your device's model number to ensure compatibility before making your purchase.
