1250020615 Genuine 10uF Motor Capacitor for Electrolux Laundry Appliances, Washing Machine Motor Capacitor

Genuine Electrolux motor capacitor, part number 1250020615, with a rating of 10uF. It works with an appliance motor to get it started and keep it running smoothly. Electrolux uses capacitors of several values across its laundry range, so the 10uF figure and the part number are the two things to check against your old capacitor or the parts list for your model.

Signs the motor capacitor in your machine has failed

A single-phase motor relies on its capacitor to create a second, offset magnetic field so it can start turning. As the capacitor ages its value drops, and the motor gets weaker until it can no longer start under load. You may hear a buzz or hum with no movement, smell hot insulation, find the motor only spins once the drum is nudged by hand, or notice the motor's thermal cut-out stopping it. A swollen or split capacitor case is a giveaway. Testing it with a capacitance tester is the quickest way to be sure.

Fitting the 10uF capacitor

Disconnect the appliance from the power point and wait a few minutes. Treat the old capacitor as live until it has been discharged safely. Label or photograph the wires before you remove them, then connect the new capacitor exactly the same way and fix it firmly so it can't vibrate loose. Refit all panels before plugging the machine back in for a test.

Questions about this part

My old capacitor shows a different value. Will this one work?

If your appliance's parts list shows 1250020615 and the old capacitor is rated 10uF, this is the right replacement. If the microfarad value differs, it isn't a match, so send your model through the parts enquiry form and we'll find the correct one.
