341241 Dryer Genuine OEM Drum Belt The 341241 is a Genuine OEM dryer drum belt compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Admiral, Jenn-Air, Estate, Magic Chef, Crosley, Inglis, Norge, Modern Maid, Hardwick, Caloric, and Ikea. The drum belt wraps around the outside of the dryer drum, loops around the motor pulley and idler pulley, and drives the drum to rotate during every drying cycle. Without a functioning belt, the drum cannot spin and clothes will not tumble or dry. Made from high-strength rubber with reinforced ribs, this belt measures 92-1/4 inches long x 1/4 inch wide and features 4 ribs and 3 grooves. It is flat on one side and ribbed on the other, and is built to resist cracking, stretching, and wear under the high heat and repeated tension cycles of daily dryer use. It also replaces some 5-rib, 4-groove belts. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Remove the lint screen, then unscrew the two Phillips screws inside the lint filter housing. Use a putty knife 2 inches from each front corner to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release belt tension at the idler pulley, lift the drum slightly, and slide the old belt off. Loop the new 341241 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing down (toward the drum). Route the belt around the idler pulley and motor pulley — consult your model's service manual or a model-specific video for the correct belt path. Reassemble and run a test cycle. Tip: While the drum is out, inspect and replace the idler pulley (691366) and drum rollers (349241T) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool. Frequently Asked Questions How does the 341241 differ from the W10205415 and 6602-001655 belts? All three are 92-inch dryer drum belts, but they differ in width and rib count. The 341241 is 1/4" wide with 4 ribs and 3 grooves. The W10205415 is 3/8" wide with 5 ribs and 4 grooves. The 6602-001655 is 5/16" wide with 5 ribs and 4 grooves designed for Samsung dryers. Always match the part number to your specific model — do not substitute based on appearance alone. Will this belt fit my Kenmore dryer? Many Kenmore dryers — especially the popular 110-series — are manufactured by Whirlpool and use the 341241 belt. Check your model number against the compatibility list and contact our support team if you need help confirming the fit before ordering. How do I know if my drum belt needs to be replaced? The most obvious sign is that the dryer motor hums but the drum does not spin. You may also notice a thumping or slapping sound during operation, a burning rubber smell, or clothes that are damp after a full cycle. Open the dryer cabinet to visually confirm if the belt is broken, frayed, or stretched. Should I also replace the idler pulley and drum rollers? Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled, it is highly recommended to inspect and replace the idler pulley (691366) and drum support rollers (349241T) at the same time. These parts wear at a similar rate and replacing all three together — often sold as a repair kit — prevents having to disassemble the dryer again in the near future. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same belt that came installed in your dryer from the factory — same materials, dimensions, and performance.

XPARTCO 134719300 Dryer Drum Belt The XPARTCO 134719300 is an aftermarket replacement dryer drum drive belt compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Kenmore, White-Westinghouse, and Gibson dryers. The drum belt is a critical component that connects the motor pulley to the drum, enabling the drum to rotate during drying cycles. The belt wraps around the drum circumference, passes over an idler pulley (which maintains tension), and connects to the drive motor pulley. When the motor runs, it drives the belt, which rotates the drum to tumble clothes for even drying. Over time, drive belts fail due to normal wear from friction and heat, cracking or fraying from age and repeated flexing, stretching that reduces tension and causes slipping, contamination from lint buildup, or sudden breakage from overloading or mechanical stress. Constructed from durable black rubber with reinforced fabric or cord embedded inside for strength and flexibility, designed to withstand thousands of hours of operation under high temperatures and constant friction. Dimensions: 90"L x 5/16"W x 1/8"H with 5 ribs and 4 grooves. It directly replaces 134719300, 137315300, 7134719300, LB5300, 1482960, AP4368788, EAP2349294, PD00000843, and PS2349294. Important: install the belt with the grooves facing DOWN, against the drum. Often replaced together with the idler pulley (134793500/134793511, sold separately) as a paired repair since both wear together. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 134719300 Dryer Drum Belt fixes Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Kenmore, White-Westinghouse, and Gibson dryers where the drum won't turn (motor runs but drum stays still), the drum spins slowly, the dryer makes loud squealing or squeaking noises, or clothes take too long to dry. 90"L x 5/16"W x 1/8"H. 5 ribs, 4 grooves.

Often paired with idler pulley (134793500/134793511, sold separately). Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer drum doesn't turn — motor runs but drum stays still (belt snapped) Dryer drum rotates slowly or intermittently — belt worn or slipping Loud squealing, squeaking, or thumping noises during operation — belt cracked, glazed, or misaligned Dryer won't start — belt switch (on some models) tripped by broken belt Clothes taking much longer than normal to dry — drum not tumbling clothes effectively Visible cracks, fraying, or glazing on the belt surface Belt broken completely — often heard as a loud snap during operation Drum spins freely by hand with no resistance — clear sign the belt has snapped Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers This dryer drum belt directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: 134719300, 137315300, 7134719300, AFR14405, AP4368788, EAP2349294, LB5300, PD00000843, PS2349294. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This dryer drum belt is compatible with select dryers from the following brands: Frigidaire dryers (select electric and gas models) — including FDEB34RGS1/GS2, FDEB55RGS0/GS1, FDER436RHS0 and related models Electrolux dryers (select models) Crosley dryers — CDE4500KW0, CDE4700LB0/LW0, CDE4701QW0, CDE7300RW0, CDE7400QW0/QW1, CDE7500KB0/KR0/KW0, CDE7700LR0/LW0, CDEC450KW0, CDEC750KW0, CDG4500KW0, CDG4700LB0/LW0, CDG4701QW0, CDG7300RW0/RW1, CDG7400QW0, CDG7500KB0/KR0/KW0, CDG7700LW0/LW1 series Kenmore / Sears dryers — select Frigidaire/Electrolux-built models White-Westinghouse dryers (select models) Gibson dryers (select models) Note: When you replace the drum belt, this is also the ideal time to inspect the idler pulley (134793500 or 134793511, sold separately) — it wears from the same friction cycles as the belt, and if it's rough, seized, or noisy, the new belt will wear out prematurely. Many customers replace both together as a matched set. Always verify your dryer model number before ordering.

Wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp sheet metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the top and/or front panels of the dryer to access the drum — the specific procedure varies by model, but typically involves removing 2–4 screws under the top edge or lint trap area, then lifting or tilting the top panel forward. Once the top is off, disconnect the door switch wire harness and lift the front panel free. This exposes the drum, motor, and idler pulley. Photograph the belt routing before disassembly if any belt fragments remain — you'll need to match the routing pattern with the new belt. Remove any pieces of the old broken belt from around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley. Support the drum from underneath (a wooden block or two can help hold it in position). Route the new 134719300 belt around the drum in the same position as the old belt — approximately 4-6 inches from the front lip of the drum. Install with the grooves facing DOWN, against the drum surface — this is essential for proper engagement with the motor pulley. From under the drum, route the belt over the idler pulley and around the drive motor pulley in a Z-shape. Rotate the drum by hand a few full turns to confirm the belt seats correctly and rides smoothly. Verify the drum rotates freely without binding — if it doesn't, the belt is twisted, kinked, or misrouted; fix it before reassembling. Reinstall the front and top panels, reconnect the door switch, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, wooden block, side cutters (for removing broken belt fragments), flathead screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer runs but the drum won't turn — is the belt the problem? Almost certainly, yes. When the motor runs (you hear the humming/whirring) but the drum stays still, the belt has almost always snapped or is slipping badly. To confirm without opening the dryer: reach in through the door and try turning the drum by hand. If it spins freely with no resistance whatsoever, the belt is broken. If it turns but feels notchy or resistant, the belt may still be intact but the drum bearings or rollers could be the issue. In either case, opening the dryer to inspect the belt visually is the definitive check — a snapped belt will be lying in the bottom of the cabinet. Why do I have to install the belt with grooves facing down? The dryer's motor pulley is a smooth, un-grooved cylinder — the belt runs against it with the flat (smooth) side. The drum, on the other hand, needs the grooves to positively engage and drive without slipping under load. So the grooved side faces the drum (down when you're routing the belt around the drum from above), and the smooth side wraps around the motor pulley and idler pulley. Installing the belt backwards with grooves facing up will cause the belt to slip against the drum immediately and can burn out the new belt within a few minutes of operation. Should I replace the idler pulley at the same time? Yes, it's strongly recommended. The idler pulley (134793500 or 134793511 on many compatible dryers) maintains constant tension on the drum belt as the drum rotates. It wears from the same friction cycles as the belt — when the belt fails, the idler pulley bearings have typically also been stressed and are near end-of-life. Since the dryer is already open and the pulley is right there next to the belt, replacing both saves you a repeat repair when the pulley fails a few months later. Signs of a worn idler pulley: rough or noisy rotation when spun by hand, visible wear grooves, or seized bearings. What's the difference between 134719300 and 137315300? These are the same drive belt across production revisions. 137315300 was a Frigidaire OEM part number and 134719300 is the current cross-referenced part number that covers the same belt. Both are physically and functionally identical — if your dryer's parts diagram shows either number, this listing is the correct replacement. LB5300 and 7134719300 are additional catalog references for the same belt. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire/Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured from durable rubber with reinforced fabric/cord to match the dimensions (90"L x 5/16"W x 1/8"H), rib and groove pattern (5 ribs, 4 grooves), and drive function of the original 134719300 drum belt used in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Kenmore, White-Westinghouse, and Gibson dryers.

XPARTCO W10810403 Washer Lid Switch Assembly The XPARTCO W10810403 is an aftermarket replacement lid lock assembly for Whirlpool Cabrio and Maytag Bravos XL top-load washers. Positioned on the underside of the washer lid, this assembly detects whether the lid is open or closed and locks it shut during the wash cycle, preventing the washer from spinning or agitating — and preventing the lid from being opened — while the cycle is running. This is a safety mechanism as much as a functional one, keeping users from contacting moving parts or being splashed by water or detergent mid-cycle. This assembly includes the lid lock mechanism and its wiring harness, and ships with a white bezel. Many of these lid locks also contain an internal fuse as part of the switch circuit — if that fuse blows, the symptom isn't limited to lid-related errors; it can prevent the entire control board from powering up at all, since the switch sits in the same circuit path. A failing lid lock typically shows up as the lid not closing or locking properly, the washer failing to start, the cycle stopping mid-way, or in more severe cases, a completely unresponsive control panel with no lights at all. It directly replaces AP5984435, PS11722981, W10648012, W10787878, W10697793, W10787880, AP5999414, and PS11731620. Quick Answer The XPARTCO W10810403 Washer Lid Switch Assembly fixes Whirlpool Cabrio, Maytag Bravos XL, and select Kenmore 600/700 Series top-load washers where the lid won't lock, the washer won't start, the cycle stops mid-way, or the control panel is completely unresponsive with no lights.

Replaces Part Numbers This washer lid switch assembly directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: W10810403, 4283179, W10632841, W10637463, W10648012, W10787836, W10787878, AP5984435, AWP41491, EAP11722981, PD00028176, PS11722981 If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This lid switch assembly is compatible with select Whirlpool Cabrio and Maytag Bravos XL top-load washers, and also fits select Roper, Admiral, Hardwick, Jenn-Air, Estate, Magic Chef, Crosley, Inglis, Norge, Modern Maid, Amana, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Caloric, and Ikea washers built on the same platform, including model numbers such as MVWB855DW1, MVWB865GW1, MVWB835DW3, and MVWB765FW4. Note — bezel color and lid lock platform both matter: This assembly has a white bezel. If your original lock has a grey bezel, order W10861642 instead — same lock mechanism, different bezel color. Separately, Whirlpool has used several distinct lid lock designs across its Cabrio-era washer lineup, including a different 3-wire electronic lock (our W11670519 listing) used on other Cabrio/MVW models. These are not the same part despite both serving Cabrio-platform washers. Always verify your full model number and match your original lock's exact part number before ordering.

Wear work gloves. Open the washer lid and locate the lid lock assembly mounted on its underside, typically secured with a couple of screws. Photograph the wiring harness connection before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws, disconnect the wiring harness connector from the old assembly, and pull it free. Install the new W10810403 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and secure the mounting screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the lid locks securely, the washer starts and completes a full cycle, and the lid unlocks normally once finished. Tools needed: multi-screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My control panel has no lights at all. Could the lid lock really cause that? Yes, and this is a less obvious but documented cause. Some of these lid lock assemblies include an internal fuse as part of the switch circuit. If that fuse blows, it can prevent the control board from powering up entirely, producing a completely dark, unresponsive panel rather than a symptom that's obviously tied to the lid. If your washer has no lights and no response at all, this lock assembly is worth checking alongside the more obvious suspects. My old lock has a grey bezel. Can I still use this part? This specific listing has a white bezel. If your original lock is grey, order part number W10861642 instead — it's the same lock mechanism, just finished with a grey bezel to match certain washer trim colors. Using the wrong bezel color won't affect function, but it will look mismatched against your washer's lid. Is this the same lock used on all Cabrio washers? No — Whirlpool has used more than one lid lock design across its Cabrio-era lineup. This W10810403 is a distinct assembly from other Cabrio/MVW-platform locks, such as our W11670519 listing, which uses a different 3-wire electronic locking design. Always match your exact original part number rather than assuming any "Cabrio lock" will fit, since the mounting and electrical interface can differ between designs. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the locking mechanism, wiring harness, and bezel design of the original W10810403 lid lock assembly used in compatible Whirlpool Cabrio, Maytag Bravos XL, and related top-load washers.

XPARTCO W10350564 Refrigerator Run Capacitor Replaces WPW10350564 The XPARTCO W10350564 is an aftermarket replacement compressor run capacitor compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Roper, Admiral, Ikea, and Kenmore refrigerators and freezers. The run capacitor is a small but critical electrical component mounted near the compressor at the back of the refrigerator — it delivers a phase-shifted power boost that helps the compressor motor start at the beginning of each cooling cycle, and supports smooth, efficient motor operation while the compressor runs. When the capacitor fails — typically from dielectric breakdown, age, heat, or moisture intrusion — the compressor may fail to start, hum without starting, kick on and off repeatedly, or cause inconsistent cooling throughout the refrigerator. Rated 12 µF (MFD) ±5% capacitance, 180VAC, 50/60Hz. This capacitor works together with the compressor start relay/start device — the two components are frequently replaced together, since a failed capacitor often stresses the relay and vice versa. It directly replaces WPW10350564, W10350564, AP6020176, PS11753490, EAP11753490, and 2683570. This is one of the most cost-effective refrigerator repairs — a failed run capacitor mimics symptoms of a failed compressor (a far more expensive repair), so testing and replacing the capacitor first can save hundreds of dollars. Installs in about 15 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO W10350564 Refrigerator Run Capacitor fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore refrigerators and freezers where the compressor won't start, hums without starting, kicks on and off, or the fridge/freezer is too warm with inconsistent cooling. 12 µF (MFD) ±5%, 180VAC, 50/60Hz. Replaces WPW10350564, AP6020176, PS11753490, EAP11753490, 2683570. Often replaced together with the compressor start relay. A 15-minute repair that can save you from misdiagnosing a "failed compressor." Common Problems This Part Fixes Compressor won't start — no power boost from the failed capacitor Compressor hums or clicks but doesn't start running Compressor kicks on and off repeatedly (short cycling) Refrigerator and freezer too warm — cooling cycles not completing Fridge too warm while freezer seems okay — weak compressor operation Noticeable humming sounds from the back of the refrigerator Inconsistent cooling and variable temperatures inside the refrigerator Refrigerator will not start at all Capacitor visibly bulged, leaking, or burned Capacitance test reads significantly off from 12 µF Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers This run capacitor directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: WPW10350564, W10350564, PD00030179, EAP11753490, AP6020176, AWP50050, PS11753490. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This run capacitor is compatible with select refrigerators and freezers from the following brands: Whirlpool refrigerators — French door, side-by-side, and bottom-mount models (including WRX735SDBM00 and related WRX/WRF series) Maytag refrigerators (select models) KitchenAid refrigerators (select models) Jenn-Air refrigerators (select models) Amana refrigerators (select models) Magic Chef refrigerators (select models) Roper refrigerators (select models) Admiral refrigerators (select models) Ikea refrigerators (select Whirlpool-built models) Kenmore / Sears refrigerators (select Whirlpool-built models) Also fits compatible upright and chest freezers on the Whirlpool platform Note: The run capacitor works together with the compressor start relay/start device. When one fails, the other has typically been stressed by the same electrical events — many repair scenarios call for replacing both at the same time since both are accessible in the same location and the combined parts cost is still far below a service call. Always verify your model number before ordering. Key Features Compressor run capacitor — delivers the phase-shifted power boost that starts the compressor motor and supports smooth operation during cooling cycles Rated 12 µF (MFD) capacitance with ±5% tolerance — precise match to OEM electrical specifications 180VAC, 50/60Hz rating for compatible refrigerator compressor circuits Resolves "compressor won't start," "humming but not starting," "short cycling," and "too warm" symptoms when caused by capacitor failure A cost-effective first repair — failed capacitors commonly mimic the symptoms of a far more expensive failed compressor Replaces WPW10350564, AP6020176, PS11753490, EAP11753490, and 2683570 Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Roper, Admiral, Ikea, and Kenmore refrigerators and freezers Often replaced together with the compressor start relay/start device as a paired repair Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Quick DIY repair — installs in about 15 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Part Number W10350564 OEM Part Number WPW10350564 Part Type Refrigerator Compressor Run Capacitor Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application Refrigerators and Freezers (Whirlpool platform) Capacitance 12 µF (MFD) Tolerance ±5% Voltage 180V AC Frequency 50/60 Hz Mounting Location Near compressor, rear of refrigerator Often Paired With Compressor Start Relay / Start Device Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Roper, Admiral, Ikea, Kenmore Installation Notes ⚠️ Capacitor Safety Warning — Stored Electrical Charge Capacitors store an electrical charge even after the refrigerator is unplugged. Before handling the old capacitor, discharge it safely: with the refrigerator unplugged, touch the blade of an insulated-handle screwdriver across both capacitor terminals simultaneously to short them together (you may see or hear a small spark — that's the stored charge dissipating). Never touch the capacitor terminals with bare hands before discharging. If you're not comfortable with this step, have the repair done by a qualified appliance technician. ⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and pull it away from the wall to access the rear. Safely store any food that could spoil if the repair takes longer than expected. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The run capacitor is located near the compressor at the bottom rear of the refrigerator, typically behind a lower rear access panel. Remove the screws holding the access panel and set it aside. Locate the capacitor — a small rectangular or oval component connected to the compressor's start relay/start device by wire terminals. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting anything. Discharge the old capacitor before touching the terminals (see the safety warning above). Disconnect the wire terminals from the old capacitor — note which wire goes to which terminal. Release the capacitor from its mounting clip or bracket. Install the new W10350564 capacitor in the same position, secure the mounting clip, and reconnect the wires to the same terminals as photographed. While the panel is open, inspect the start relay/start device on the side of the compressor — if it rattles when shaken, shows burn marks, or has corroded terminals, replace it at the same time. Reinstall the rear access panel, push the refrigerator back into place, plug it in, and listen for the compressor to start smoothly within a few minutes. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its set temperature. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, insulated-handle flathead screwdriver (for discharging), needle-nose pliers, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if the run capacitor has failed and not the compressor? This is the key question — because a failed $15–30 capacitor produces nearly identical symptoms to a failed $300+ compressor. Signs pointing to the capacitor: the compressor hums or clicks but won't start; the compressor tries to start, runs briefly, then shuts off (short cycling); or the refrigerator gradually stopped cooling with humming from the rear. To test: unplug the refrigerator, discharge the capacitor, disconnect it, and measure it with a multimeter that has a capacitance setting — a healthy capacitor reads close to 12 µF (within ±5%). A reading far off, zero, or infinite confirms the capacitor has failed. Visual signs like bulging, leaking, or burn marks also confirm failure. Given the low cost, replacing the capacitor (and start relay) first is the standard diagnostic approach before condemning the compressor. Should I replace the start relay at the same time? Yes, it's strongly recommended. The run capacitor and the compressor start relay/start device work together in the compressor's starting circuit — the relay switches power to the start winding while the capacitor provides the phase-shifted boost. When one fails, the other has typically been stressed by the same electrical events (voltage spikes, overheating, repeated failed start attempts). Both components are inexpensive, mounted in the same location on or near the compressor, and accessible in the same repair session. A quick relay check: with the refrigerator unplugged, remove the relay and shake it — if it rattles, the internal components have failed and it needs replacement. Why does the capacitor need to be discharged before handling? Capacitors store electrical energy — that's their job. Even after the refrigerator is unplugged, the capacitor can hold a charge capable of delivering a painful (and potentially dangerous) shock when you touch both terminals. Before handling, always discharge the capacitor by shorting both terminals together with the blade of an insulated-handle screwdriver — touch the metal blade across both terminals at once and hold for a second or two. You may see a small spark as the charge dissipates; that's normal. After discharging, the capacitor is safe to handle. This takes five seconds and eliminates the shock risk entirely. What's the difference between a run capacitor and a start capacitor? Both assist the compressor motor but in different phases of operation. A start capacitor delivers a large, brief boost only during the initial moment of motor startup, then is switched out of the circuit. A run capacitor — like the W10350564 — stays in the circuit continuously while the motor runs, providing an ongoing phase shift that improves the motor's running efficiency and torque. Household refrigerators on the Whirlpool platform typically use a run capacitor working alongside the start relay/start device. Match the replacement to your original: the W10350564 is a 12 µF, 180VAC run capacitor, and the capacitance rating must match for correct compressor operation. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (12 µF ±5%, 180VAC, 50/60Hz), terminal configuration, and compressor-support function of the original WPW10350564/W10350564 run capacitor used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore refrigerators and freezers.
