W11395618 Whirlpool Washer Capacitor

Step 1: Unplug the Washer. Before beginning any maintenance on an appliance, it is important to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Step 2: Locate the W11395618 Capacitor. The capacitor can be found in the rear of the washer near the blower motor.

Step 3: Remove Fasteners from the Capacitor. There will be several screws and bolts holding the capacitor in place. Gently unscrew each screw and bolt until the capacitor is free from its case.

Step 4: Disconnect the Wires from the Capacitor. Carefully disconnect each wire connected to the capacitor. Mark each wire with a label or piece of tape so that you can easily identify which wire goes where when re-installing the new part.

Step 5: Install New W11395618 Capacitor. Place the new capacitor in the same spot as the old one with the same screws and bolts. Connect the wires to the appropriate terminals on the capacitor being careful to match the color of the wire with the correct terminal.

Step 6: Test the Washer. Plug the washer back in and test to make sure everything is working properly before using it again.

Step 7: Clean Up and Dispose of Old Parts. Be sure to properly dispose of the old capacitor according to your city's laws and regulations. Finally, clean up the surrounding area of any debris that may have fallen during the replacement process.

Please keep in mind, these instructions are for general guidance and should always be used in conjunction with the manufacturer's manual, if available.
