Description

The capacitor power boosts your tumble dryer

When the tumble dryer's motor activates, the capacitor expels energy, enhancing power output. This extra energy eases the motor's initial startup by reducing resistance and inertia.

Once the motor is in motion, the capacitor maintains a consistent power supply for uninterrupted operation.

What damages the capacitor?

A dryer capacitor has a finite lifespan, just like any other electronic component. It might endure normal wear and tear over time, which could cause a deterioration in function and lead to failure. 

The capacitor may overheat due to excessive heat created inside the dryer from continuous use, inadequate ventilation, or defective parts. High temperatures can cause the dielectric material to deteriorate, which can cause the capacitor to break down or lose capacitance.
