1760009377 Genuine 4uF Capacitor with 6.3mm Terminals for Electrolux Group Appliances, RF Type Replacement Motor Capacitor

1760009377 is a genuine Electrolux group 4uF capacitor with 6.3mm spade terminals, marked RF in the parts description. Capacitors like this are commonly used to start or run motors and compressors. Before ordering, read the label on the old capacitor and make sure the microfarad value, voltage rating and terminal size all match. If any details differ, send us a photo of the label.

Signs of a failing capacitor

A capacitor gives a single phase motor the phase shift it needs to start and run in the right direction. As it ages its capacitance drops, or it fails open, and the motor struggles. Common signs are a motor that hums but won't start, starts only with a nudge, runs slowly or hot, or trips its overload. Some failed capacitors bulge, leak or show scorch marks, but many look perfectly normal, so a multimeter with a capacitance setting is the best test. Replace it with the same microfarad value and an equal or higher voltage rating.

Changing the capacitor safely

Unplug the appliance or isolate it at the switchboard. Capacitors can hold a charge, so discharge the old one with an insulated resistor before touching the terminals. Note which wire goes to which terminal, fit the new capacitor securely in its clip, and keep the leads clear of moving parts. Hard-wired appliances need a licensed electrician.

Questions about this part

Can I use a capacitor with a different value?

Stick to 4uF. A different value changes how the motor starts and runs and can overheat it. The voltage rating should be the same as the original or higher, so check the old capacitor's label before ordering 1760009377.
