Browse 16µF (microfarad) capacitors for appliance motors. Capacitors at this rating are commonly used in medium-duty motor applications in washing machines, dishwashers, and larger fan assemblies. The run capacitor provides essential phase-shifted current for motor starting and efficient operation.Our 16µF capacitors are rated at 450V AC, suitable for standard Australian 240V mains applications. Always match the exact µF value printed on your existing capacitor — even small differences in capacitance affect motor performance and can cause overheating.Signs of capacitor failure include the motor humming without starting, running slowly, overheating, or producing excessive vibration. Always disconnect power and discharge the capacitor before removal. Replace with the identical µF and voltage rating for safe, reliable motor operation.
