Description
Your capacitor starts your tumble dryer’s power
When the tumble dryer's motor is turned on, the capacitor releases the energy it has been holding and causes a power surge. This extra force helps the motor start by reducing the initial resistance and inertia.
The capacitor maintains a constant power source after the motor starts to ensure smooth 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.
