8581330151037 Genuine 9uF Capacitor for Electrolux Group Clothes Dryers, Replacement Dryer Motor Capacitor

Part 8581330151037 is a genuine Electrolux 9uF capacitor for clothes dryers in the Electrolux group. It works alongside the dryer's motor, giving it the push it needs to start and keep turning. There's no model list on file for this number, so check the part number and the 9uF value printed on your old capacitor before ordering.

Dryer humming but the drum won't turn?

Many dryer motors are single phase types that need a capacitor to start and to run in the right direction. When the capacitor weakens or fails, the motor can't get going. You'll typically hear a hum or buzz with no drum movement, the drum might turn only if you spin it by hand, or the motor trips its thermal cutout and stops after a short run. A capacitor that's swollen, cracked or leaking is a clear fault. Before replacing it, check the drive belt is intact and nothing is jammed between the drum and door seal.

Changing a dryer capacitor

Unplug the dryer before opening the cabinet. Even unplugged, a capacitor may still be charged, so discharge it safely with an insulated tool before your fingers go near the terminals. Photograph the wiring, move each wire to the matching terminal on the new capacitor and fix it firmly in its bracket. Refit all panels before plugging in and running a test cycle.

Questions about this part

Can I fit a capacitor with a different uF value?

No. Use the same microfarad value as the original, which for this part is 9uF. A different value can leave the motor running hot, weak or not starting at all. Matching the voltage rating and terminal type matters too.
