Gives the motor the boost it needs to start and keep the drum turning.
Tick the symptoms your appliance is showing. We’ll tell you how confident we are this part is the fix.
Error codes are model dependent, so the same brand may have more than one listed.
| Code | Brand | What it means | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| E50 | AEG | Means a motor, motor control board, or wiring fault, where the motor cannot start. It is usually caused by a faulty start capacitor, worn carbon brushes, or a defective control board. | High |
| E52 | AEG | Means the motor overheating safety cut out has been triggered, stopping the cycle or the drum. It is usually caused by a worn motor carbon brush, a faulty motor, a faulty control board, or restricted airflow. | High |
| E53 | AEG | Means a malfunction in the motor triac sensing circuit, affecting the motor drive unit. It is usually caused by a faulty motor triac, a faulty PCB, or a blocked cycle. | High |
| E54 | AEG | Means a motor control problem, with high current, a motor relay fault, or a communication failure between the control board and the drive motor. It is usually caused by a faulty motor relay, the drive motor, or the control board. | High |
| E15 | Electrolux | Means the motor cannot start, has overheated, or is severely overloaded so the drum is too heavy to turn. It is usually caused by a motor fault or restricted airflow from blocked lint filters. | High |
| E50 | Electrolux | Means there is a motor or software fault that often prevents the drum from spinning. It is usually caused by a broken drive belt, a faulty motor, a failed capacitor, or a motor control board issue. | High |
| E54 | Electrolux | Means there is a motor control problem in the drive motor relay circuit so the motor is not receiving power or cannot start. It is usually caused by an overloaded drum, faulty motor capacitors, or a failed relay on the electronic control board. | High |
| E59 | Electrolux | Means the main control board is not receiving a signal from the motor tachometer so the motor is not turning or the speed signal is lost. It is usually caused by a failed start capacitor, loose wiring, or a faulty motor. | High |
| E50 | Zanussi | Means a motor or electronic control board fault preventing the drum from rotating correctly. It is usually caused by a failed motor capacitor, worn motor brushes, wiring issues, or the drive belt. | High |
| E51 | Zanussi | Means a motor control circuit fault, specifically a short-circuited motor triac on the electronic control board, leaving the motor unable to start. It is usually caused by a faulty PCB, motor wiring issues, or a damaged motor. | High |
| E52 | Zanussi | Means a motor circuit fault or motor overheating, with the control board no longer detecting movement from the motor. It is usually caused by worn carbon brushes, a failed tacho coil, or a faulty motor. | High |
| E53 | Zanussi | Means a fault in the motor driving circuit, with a communication error signalled between the motor and the control board. It is usually caused by a failure of the motor triac on the main control board, a faulty motor centrifugal switch, or related wiring issues. | High |
| E54 | Zanussi | Means a motor-related fault, with the motor inoperative because of a control board issue, wiring fault, or seized component. It is usually caused by a failed motor relay on the PCB, a faulty start capacitor, or a worn-out motor. | High |

Don’t see your code? Different model years sometimes use different codes. Get in touch with our parts team and we’ll help you identify the right replacement.
General fitting guidance. The exact steps can vary slightly with the make and model of your tumble dryer.
Safety: Switch off and unplug at the mains and discharge the capacitor before you start.
This is a high-quality 8 uf capacitor for your tumble dryer.
Tumble dryer capacitors release energy that boosts the power output every drying cycle. Pumps the extra power for the motor's start-up. Also helps get a lower inertia and lesser resistance when the dryer motor is running.
When damaged, it prevents the motor from starting, causes a humming noise, intermittent operation, a burning smell, or shows visible damage or leakage. Change it promptly with this replacement part.
This tumble dryer capacitor fits all the brands listed above.
Before ordering, please verify with our compatibility checker that this part is suitable for your model.
