EAE43285002 Genuine Film Capacitor Radial for LG Appliances, LG Electric Appliance Film Capacitor Replacement

EAE43285002 is a genuine LG capacitor, described by LG as an electric appliance film capacitor with radial leads. Radial means both leads come out of the same end, which suits mounting on a circuit board. We don't have the capacitance value, voltage or appliance on file, so please match EAE43285002 to the printing on your old capacitor or your model's parts list before you order.

What this LG film capacitor does

Film capacitors store and release electrical charge, and in appliances they're used for jobs like helping a motor start and run, filtering electrical noise or smoothing part of a power supply. Film types tend to be stable and long lived, but heat, voltage spikes and age still take their toll. A failed capacitor can leave a fan or motor humming without turning or running slowly, or make a board behave erratically. Look for a swollen, cracked or scorched body. Checking it with a capacitance tester is the reliable way to confirm a fault.

Part details

• Genuine LG part number EAE43285002
• Film capacitor for electric appliance use
• Radial leads for board mounting
• Capacitance and appliance not on file, match the old part

Replacing a board-mounted capacitor

Unplug the appliance or isolate it at the switchboard, then wait several minutes for stored charge to drain. Note the old capacitor's position and photograph the board. Desoldering and soldering a board takes the right tools and skills, so this is a job for a qualified technician. If the appliance is hard-wired, a licensed electrician must disconnect and reconnect it.

Questions about this part

Can I use a capacitor from an electronics shop instead?

Only if you know the exact capacitance, voltage rating, type and lead spacing, which we don't have on file for this part. Fitting LG's own EAE43285002 removes the guesswork. Check the old part's printing or your parts list to confirm it's the right number.
