Whirlpool w11328673 Hood Capacitor

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL w11328673 is a genuine OEM hood capacitor designed for use in Whirlpool range hood assemblies. Capacitors in hood systems support motor start or motor run functions, providing the electrical charge needed to initiate or sustain fan motor operation. When a hood capacitor fails, the exhaust fan may hum without spinning, run at reduced speed, or fail to start altogether. This is a direct OEM replacement part sourced from Whirlpool, meaning it meets the original design tolerances for the application. Installation is typically performed by an appliance technician or qualified DIYer comfortable working with electrical components.

This capacitor is used in Whirlpool range hood units where the exhaust fan motor relies on a capacitor for start or run operation. It is suited for residential kitchen ventilation applications. When the original capacitor degrades or fails due to heat cycling or age, replacing it with the OEM part restores proper fan motor performance without modification to the existing wiring harness or motor assembly.

Installation Notes

Capacitor replacement on range hood units should be performed by a qualified appliance technician or an electrician familiar with low-voltage motor circuits. Disconnect power to the range hood at the circuit breaker before beginning any service work. Capacitors can retain a charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor safely before handling. Follow all applicable NEC guidelines and the appliance manufacturer instructions when reinstalling the component.
