Start capacitor

Start Capacitor is an ice maker replacement part identified by part number 1858442600. It’s intended for service and repair when the original component is worn, damaged, or missing. Use the part number on your machine or old component to confirm you’re ordering the correct item. By stabilizing the motor circuit, the capacitor helps prevent hard starts and repeated cycling. A weak capacitor can cause a motor that hums, struggles to start, or trips protection because it can’t get up to speed. Always discharge capacitors safely and follow standard electrical precautions during service. Replacing the part can bring the system back to predictable operation and help prevent repeat call-backs. After replacement, test for normal starts and verify the unit no longer struggles or trips during operation. If the symptom is intermittent, pay close attention to connectors, mounting points, and any signs of vibration-related wear. If the symptom is intermittent, pay close attention to connectors, mounting points, and any signs of vibration-related wear. When possible, run the ice maker long enough to observe at least one complete cycle after the repair. A careful inspection of adjacent parts can help catch secondary issues that may have contributed to the failure.
