3068083 GENUINE ELECTRICAL CAPACITOR 16UF SIMPSON WESTINGHOUSE 450V CAP016

🔧 GENUINE Simpson/Westinghouse 16 µF 450 V Capacitor – Part No. 3068083

Replace your aging or failed appliance capacitor with this high-quality genuine part. Ideal for Simpson and Westinghouse laundry, HVAC, or motor-run applications that require a 16 µF / 450 V capacitor (CAP016 style).

⚙️ Product Features

• Genuine part number 3068083 (listed as “Genuine Electrical Capacitor 16 µF Simpson Westinghouse 450 V CAP016”). eBay Australia+1

• Capacitor value: 16 µF (microfarads)

• Voltage rating: 450 V AC (suitable for 50/60 Hz appliance motor circuits) eBay Australia+1

• Intended for use as a motor run or motor start capacitor, commonly in Simpson/Westinghouse washers/dryers or other domestic appliances

• Non-polarised capacitor (fits both motor start and run stages)

• Robust design suited for appliance/motor loads rather than low-power electronics

🧩 Compatible Brands / Models

While this capacitor is generic in capacitance and voltage, it’s listed specifically for use in:

• Simpson model appliances (check the model plate or existing part for 16 µF / 450 V specification)

• Westinghouse brand appliances with similar motor-run capacitor requirements

• General domestic motor circuits requiring 16 µF run/start capacitor 50/60 Hz 450 V

If your appliance lists “3068083” or an equivalent CAP016 / 16 µF/450 V capacitor, this part is a direct compatible replacement.

✅ Why Use This Genuine Replacement

• Ensures correct capacitance for motor starting/running: inaccurate or degraded capacitors lead to poor performance or motor failure

• Proper voltage rating (450 V) gives margin and durability in harsh appliance environments

• Installing a genuine-rated capacitor is safer and more reliable than under-rated or generic low-quality copies

🛠 Installation Notes

• Always disconnect power and ensure the appliance is fully isolated before replacement.

• Confirm the old capacitor: check capacitance (16 µF), voltage (450 V), physical size & mounting style.

• Replace with like-for-like (16 µF/450 V) part to maintain design performance.

• After installation, test appliance operation (motor starts smoothly, no unusual noise, stable operation).

• If issues persist (motor hums, overload trips), you may also need to check motor bearings, wiring, or other related components.
