Haier Washing Machine Capacitor Parts

Haier Washing Machine Capacitor Parts

A capacitor in your Haier washer does one critical job: it gives the motor the extra kick it needs to start and run at full speed. When a capacitor fails, you'll notice the drum won't spin, the agitator moves slowly, or the motor hums but nothing happens. It's one of the most common washer repairs — and one of the cheapest fixes.

Capacitors are measured in microfarads (µF) and voltage rating. Getting the exact match for your Haier model is essential; an undersized or oversized capacitor will strain the motor or fail to start it at all. Check your model number to find the correct capacitor specification before ordering.

• Motor won't start: Hums loudly but drum doesn't turn — capacitor is too weak or dead
• Slow agitation or spin: Drum moves sluggishly during cycles — capacitor losing charge
• Capacitor bulging or leaking: Visible damage or oily residue on the part — immediate replacement needed
• Burnt smell from motor area: Capacitor overheated and failed — replace it and check for motor strain
• Intermittent starting: Washer starts sometimes but not others — failing capacitor on its way out

Haier Washing Machine Capacitor FAQs

Why did my Haier washer capacitor fail?

Capacitors store electrical charge and degrade over time — it's normal wear. Heat, power surges, and age all speed up failure. If your washer is 5+ years old and the motor is sluggish, the capacitor is a prime suspect. Replacing it costs $15 to $40 and takes 15 minutes.

How do I find the right capacitor for my Haier washing machine?

The capacitor microfarad (µF) and voltage rating must match your model exactly. Look for the model number on a sticker inside the washer door frame or on the back panel. Use Repair Clinic's model lookup to confirm the correct capacitor specification — ordering the wrong size will either fail to start the motor or damage it.

Can I use a universal capacitor in my Haier washer?

Universal capacitors exist, but they're a gamble. Haier washers require specific µF and voltage ratings for the motor circuit. An aftermarket universal capacitor that doesn't match your spec can fail immediately or stress the motor. Always verify your exact model number and order the OEM Haier capacitor for reliable, lasting performance.

What's the difference between a start capacitor and a run capacitor?

Most washing machine motors use a single run capacitor that works continuously during the cycle. A start capacitor kicks in only at motor startup, then disconnects. Haier washers typically use a run capacitor. Check your model to confirm which type — ordering the wrong type won't work at all.

Haier Washing Machine Model Number: Where to Look

On Haier washing machines, look for the model number label inside the door frame first. If it is not there, check the back panel or behind the control panel. Record the complete model number, including letters, numbers, and hyphens, since similar Haier washers can use different parts. Use it in the model number search to pull up parts matched to your unit. The model number identifies the washer itself and filters Repair Clinic's full catalog to compatible parts for that machine. Checking it before you order cuts down on measuring, comparing, and second-guessing fit. You order with confidence knowing the fit is right.
