CBB60 25µF 250VAC Motor Start-Run Capacitor – for Washer Pumps

This CBB60 25µF (25MFD) 250VAC capacitor uses metallized polypropylene film in a flame-retardant case with 2-wire leads, built for start-run duty in single-phase AC motors. A direct replacement for washing machine drain pump motors and small appliance motors specifying 25µF. Sitting between our 20µF and 30µF listings, this value covers machines with slightly higher starting requirements than the baseline 20µF spec without jumping to the full 30µF.

Key Features

• ✅ Type: CBB60 metallized polypropylene film capacitor
• ✅ Capacitance: 25µF (25MFD)
• ✅ Rated Voltage: 250V AC
• ✅ Duty: Motor start-run (continuous run with start assist)
• ✅ Leads: 2-wire outlet (tinned copper, non-polarized)
• ✅ Self-healing dielectric – recovers from micro-breakdown
• ✅ Low dissipation factor – runs cool under load
• ✅ Flame-retardant molded case (UL94-V0 class typical)
• ✅ RoHS compliant, no PCB

Specifications

Applications

• Washing machine drain pump motors (25µF spec)
• Washer spin / circulation pump motors
• Dishwasher drain pump motors
• Small water pump & fountain pump motors (250V class)
• Single-phase AC induction motors requiring 25µF start-run assist
• Compactor / small appliance motors

20 / 25 / 30µF – Which Do You Need?

• 20µF: Most common – standard front-load washer drain pumps.
• 25µF: Mid-point – some machines specify exactly 25µF (often European or Asian models with specific pump motors). If your old cap reads 25µF, this is the correct part.
• 30µF: Larger pumps, some top-load and commercial units.
• Rule: Always read the old capacitor's printed label. Using the wrong µF changes motor torque characteristics and can cause overheating or failure to start.

Wiring & Replacement

• Non-polarized: Either wire goes to either motor terminal per the appliance schematic.
• Power off + discharge: Unplug the washer, discharge old cap before touching leads.
• Match values: Replace with 25µF ±5% and 250VAC or higher. Never substitute a lower voltage class.
• Symptom check: Pump hums but won't spin = classic failed run cap. Swap before condemning the motor.

Why This Cap

Some washers – particularly certain European and Asian models – specify exactly 25µF for their drain pump motors. This isn't a "close enough" 20 or 30 situation; the manufacturer tuned the motor for that specific value. This CBB60 25µF 250VAC delivers the correct starting torque with low-loss PP film that stays cool through repeated cycles. Self-healing dielectric handles occasional overstress, and the 2-wire lead-out drops straight into existing connectors. If your old cap reads 25µF, this is the right part – no guessing, no compromise.
