50286283002 Genuine Interference Capacitor 6.3uF for AEG Rangehoods 5708D-M/A DF6260-ML/A

Part 50286283002 is a genuine AEG interference capacitor rated at 6.3uF, listed for the AEG 5708D-M/A and DF6260-ML/A rangehoods. It's a small component, but when it fails it can trip the power or leave a burning smell in the kitchen. If the capacitor in your hood looks swollen, cracked or scorched, this is the matching factory replacement for those two models.

What an interference capacitor does in an AEG rangehood

As the motor runs, its windings and switching create electrical noise that can travel back along the power lead. An interference capacitor is wired across the supply to absorb that noise before it reaches other appliances, radios or the house wiring. Like any capacitor, it can age, dry out or fail short. Signs to look for include a hood that trips the safety switch the moment it's turned on, a burning electrical smell, crackling from the control area, or a capacitor that is visibly swollen, split or scorched.

• Genuine AEG part 50286283002
• Interference capacitor rated 6.3uF
• Suits AEG 5708D-M/A and DF6260-ML/A rangehoods

Changing the capacitor safely

Isolate the rangehood first by unplugging it or turning it off at the switchboard. If it is hard-wired, a licensed electrician should do the work. Capacitors can hold a charge, so don't touch the terminals straight after the power goes off. Note the wire positions, move them to the new capacitor one at a time and secure it in the same mounting so it can't rattle against the housing.

Questions about this part

Can I use any 6.3uF capacitor?

Use one with the same rating and type as the original. Match the capacitance, voltage rating and connection style printed on your old part. This genuine AEG capacitor is listed for the 5708D-M/A and DF6260-ML/A, so it's the safe choice for those hoods.
