Description

The capacitor boosts your tumble dryer’s power

As soon as the tumble dryer's motor starts, the capacitor releases energy and boosts power output. This extra energy speeds up the motor's startup by lowering resistance and inertia.

Once the motor has started to rotate, the capacitor maintains a constant power source for continuous 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.
