Most of the time the capacitor is listed on the motor, if not it should be on the capacitor itself. If it's enclosed you may have to remove the cover to find it,
Testimonial: "The capacitor was there, however, the issue is that the housing around the capacitor rubbed off all the identifying info on the capacitor so I have no way of knowing the specs. Its a "Murphy's Law" type of thing here."

Thank You
SOURCE: GE Washing Machine Replacement Motor - Capacitor? Relay? Schematic?
The new units have all of your schematics, capacitor and a higher price for a reason. With GE I avoid used parts because there is so much electronics you don't want to fry. The wire harness leads match the old and there should not be an extra wire, were would it go if there is not a receptacle for it?
I looked up your unit and the motor replacement is WH20X10009 for the model you quoted. As of now GE is has updated this to model wh20x10006 for around 263 dollars.
Yes you should try replacing the run capacitor.
SOURCE: WHAT TYPE OF REPLACEMENT CAPACITOR DO YOU USE FOR
If you are working in the switching power supply and need electrolytic, I would use PANASONIC FM series for very low ESR, High ripple current rating, 105c temp. Get them from www.digikey.com
SOURCE: wiring diagram for electricmotor with capacitor
I do not have a diagram for you, but depending on the motor, I can tell you a couple of things. 1. All capacitors are wired in series with the start winding. Most multi-speed motors, that require capacitors, have two brown leads, along with the motor winding leads. If this is the scenario, then just connect line power to neutral and the speed you wish to use, and connect the two brown leads, one to each side of the capacitor. Hope this helps.
