STRAP - CAPACITOR

For service buyers searching by part number, A37366-001 corresponds to the strap capacitor. It is generally replaced when the original part is worn, damaged, electrically weak, or no longer performing its normal function in the machine. Brand compatibility should be matched to the exact machine nameplate and part number before ordering. If your machine has multiple production revisions, confirm the exact model and serial details before finalizing the order. Supports motor or compressor starting/running when the machine has hard starts, humming, or intermittent startup. When this component fails, technicians may see issues such as slow starts, intermittent startup, and humming and not starting. A weak or failed capacitor can leave a motor or compressor humming, starting slowly, or failing to start under load. For this capacitor category, the typical repair goal is to restore the function that the failed component was affecting. A good service approach is to verify the exact part number and inspect the surrounding assembly before replacing the component. Capacitor diagnosis typically includes measuring capacitance, looking for bulging or leakage, and checking the connected motor/compressor current draw. After installation, technicians typically monitor startup or cycle operation to confirm the machine returns to normal behavior. Using the exact replacement part number after diagnosis helps correct the issue at the source instead of masking the symptom temporarily. Documenting voltage, resistance, temperature, or flow readings during diagnosis also helps validate the repair after installation. The best results come from matching the part number to the machine and replacing it only after the failure has been confirmed. Symptoms such as not turning on, no power, not cooling, not starting, intermittent operation, error code faults, or ice not dropping may point to this part category, but technicians should verify the complete failure path to make the repair stick.
