PowerWell 55 + 5 MFD uf Micro Farad 370 or 440 Volt Dual Run Round Capacitor PW-55/5/R for Condenser Straight Cool or Heat Pump air Conditioner 55/5 - Guaranteed to Last 5 Years: Industrial & Scientific
Works like a charm. I didn't have to call the stupid service guy again (derek) who ripped me off by replacing the fan of my ac unit and also replacing my capacitor "just in case" for 500 bucks. Turned out, it was just a capacitor which he replaced with a really tiny, cheap one which died one year later. Grand master plan so I'd call him again. Well, thanks DIY people and internet. I saved myself money.
Took me about 5 minutes to unscrew the cover the metal bracket holding the capacitor and replacing it. Much better than paying $125 for a tech to come out and do it. Learned my lesson though. Buying another one for back-up. Not having AC for a couple of warm days suck. I know...first world problems.
Fixed my compressor and brought the cool back. Cheaper then a service tech if you know what to look for.
If your fan on your compressor ( outside heat pump ) is not turning and the compressor makes a loud humming noise that cycles on and off6 it's most likely this part. Please use extreme caution before changing this out as this electrical component can hold a deadly electrical charge even when disconnected. So learn how to properly handle this part. Be sure to match the size to your unit.
General advice, if you have an AC that is over 5 years old, look up what capacitor your AC uses, and stock one for future failures. This has happened to me 3 times over 2 different houses over the last 12 years. A $20 capacitor from Amazon can save you $150 in a service call from an AC guy. This one worked fine, as my old one blew one hot day!
Easy to install, worked great for two years then died. Well, it was on the hottest day ever recorded in our area 112F. Had to rig up a water sprinkler system to it to keep the condenser cool (outside thing). Replaced the condenser fan for good measure as well. Did not last 5 years as stated on the box, so I will try the "Max Run" and see how it does. I am glad it was able to limp along and keep running until the heatwave passed and a was able to get my hands on a Dayton Locally.

Description
A capacitor is an electric component that temporarily stores an electrical charge. A dual "run capacitor" supports two electric motors, such as a fan motor and a compressor. Round dual run capacitors are used to start and run the unit more efficient. It saves space by combining two physical capacitors into one case. The dual capacitor has three terminals labeled "C", "FAN", and "HERM", which stand for the *C*ommon, Fan, and *HERM*etically sealed compressor.
Dual capacitors come in a variety of sizes, depending on the capacitance (µF = MFD = micro farad), such as 60 plus 5 µF, and also the voltage. A 440VAC capacitor can be used in place of a 370VAC, as it is build better, but the 370 canâ€t be used in place of a 440 VAC . It will work for a while and will fail prematurely, as exceeding the capacitor's rated voltage will cause the dielectric to break down and the capacitor to short out. Same as an electric wire- 600V rated wire is better than 300V one .The capacitance(µF or MFD or micro farad) must be the same or stay within 10%+ or 5%- of its original value . Example: 55 µF cap can be substituted by 53 to 60 MFD cap with the same or better voltage ratings .
If your fan is working but compressor not, or the capacitor is bulged on top most likely your capacitor is defective. Round capacitor can be used to substitute oval shape one with the same MFD AND Volt specs.
You will ask “Why I need a Cap that is rated 440V in my A/C?â€
Answer: You need to realize that a motor is an inductive device. When the supply voltage is applied to the motor run winding, the voltage across the start winding will be increased to a higher voltage value. A motor acts like a transformer , this is why the capacitor has a much higher voltage rating than the 230 being the supply voltage.
If a Capacitor is not EIA-456-A approved means it is NOT approved for USA market.
should have tested this when i first got it. had to replace the cap today and this cap is as useless as the bad one that lasted few years. return window was closed awhile back so wasted $$$. so make sure you test the values between the terminals. if no reading. send it back.
Our AC went out and it was because of the capacitor. This item was available when all the other stores that sold the item were closed over the weekend. It shipped fast and arrived when we needed it and it worked. Now our AC is working.
Our Ac stopped working. It would only blow out hot air. My husband was able to change the part and fix it with this item. Saved us big bucks! We might have to replace the Ac soon but I’m hoping we bought ourselves some time.
