How do i test motor start capacitor?Motor will not do anything... hum, attempt to start.
machine fills, but won't agitate, drain or spin.
lid switch tests good.
For model number 110.92593210
Hello Carl, thank you for writing. You can test it with a multi-meter. If the needle on the multi-meter does not move then the Capacitor is faulty and should be replaced. From what you describe, you may want to consider the Direct Drive Motor Coupling part PS1485646 or the Clutch Assembly part PS334641. We hope this helps.

Is this part also known as the "lid switch"? My washer filled, but will not run through the cycle. I had the lid switch replaced ten months ago and the symptoms are pretty much the same. I think the part may have gone bad again. Thanks!
For model number LSQ9110PW4
Hi Donna,
Thank you for your question. This part is not the lid switch. The part number listed under your model number for the lid switch is PS11745957. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

KitchenAid Motor 3350418. I took the capacitor off without marking the location so I don't know where to put the wires back on the new one. Please help. Red wire & dbl white/white w/orange stripe
For model number KAWS677EQ0
Hi Joan, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, the wire orientation does not matter in the case of the capacitor. They can go either way. We hope this helps!

My washer will not start. It just hums when I turn it on. I replaced the motor coupler and cleared the water pump (I removed a sock from the pump). Originally the washer stopped at the rinse cycle after filling and wouldn't move forward.
Could the capacitor be the issue now?
For model number 11024982300
Hello Erik, Thank you for writing. Yes, this can be an indication the Capacitor is faulty and may need to be replaced. We hope this information is useful!

Replaced the coupling and now machine will not start! Have power to washer!
For model number Lsn2000pw0
Hello Bob, thank you for contacting us. As you have already replaced the coupling, we would recommend checking the lid switch, part number PS11744858. A faulty lid switch acts as a safety lockout mechanism; if the control board does not receive a signal that the lid is closed, it will not power the motor. This prevents the washer from agitating or spinning, even if the unit has electrical power. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!
Hi washer fills to correct level then nothing happens push pull on all water features of timer works but none of other features of timer? I am thinking either timer or start capacitor? Thanks lid switch already bypassed all mechanical issues hav2 been changed thanks
For model number GSQ9669LW1
Hi Colin, thank you for contacting us. Based on our research, the issue is most probably with the timer, part number PS11742106. It controls most of the operations of the washer, such as water level, tub filling and emptying, length of cycles, and cycle setting sequences. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. Glad to be of help!
