EAE58905704 - LG Refrigerator Capacitor

The LG Refrigerator Capacitor (EAE58905704) is a genuine part manufactured by LG for its refrigerator models. This part, sometimes referred to as an electrical energy storage device, is crucial for the proper functioning of your refrigerator. It is compatible with various LG refrigerator models.

Located near the compressor, the capacitor's primary role is to store and release electrical charges, assisting in the start-up of the compressor motor. It provides the necessary surge of current to overcome inertia and initiate the motor spinning from rest. Once the compressor is operational, the capacitor discharges its electrical function and acts as a passive component in the circuit.

The capacitor contains conducting plates separated by an insulating dielectric material. When this part fails, it can prevent the compressor from starting up. Visible signs of failure include a popped or bulging capacitor, indicating that it requires replacement.

Symptoms of a failing capacitor may include the refrigerator not cooling properly or the compressor not starting. If your appliance exhibits these signs, consider inspecting the capacitor.

Before purchasing, it's advised to verify the compatibility of this part with your specific LG refrigerator model number to ensure a proper fit and function.
