The capacitor boosts your tumble dryer’s power
The tumble dryer's capacitor releases energy and boosts power when the motor starts, facilitating a quick startup. It ensures a consistent power supply for continuous motor 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.

Good product
Bought part for my tumble dryer as the motor wouldnt turn. I read up info and identified that the capacitor had blown. Ordered from Ransom before so thought i would use them again. My only complaint was it took a week from ordering to having it delivered. As the part is a pretty common part i would have expected it sooner and not having to wait a week for delivery.

Hi Rob, thanks for your question. I'm afraid this won't come with piggy back clips. The part is supplied as per the image.

Before I order a capacitor how do you remove the cover on a creda T322VW to get access to it? I seem to have undone all the visable screws at the back, sides and front.
Hi Ian, unfortunately we don't have this information. I'd recommend contacting the manufacturers to see if they can confirm.
