Compatibility & Fitment

  • Application: Designed for HVAC systems, including air conditioners and heat pumps, to power the compressor and fan motor.
  • Voltage Compatibility: Replaces both 370 VAC and 440 VAC capacitors with a 60/5 MFD rating. A 440V capacitor can safely replace a 370V unit.
  • Physical Dimensions: Verify case dimensions for proper fit. Common dimensions for this rating are approximately 2.5 inches in diameter.

When to Replace

  • The outdoor unit's fan or compressor fails to start or struggles to run.
  • A humming noise is heard from the unit without the fan or compressor engaging.
  • The capacitor casing is visibly swollen, cracked, or leaking an oily substance.
  • Capacitance measures outside the specified ±5% tolerance when tested with a multimeter.

Installation Tips

  • Warning: Installation should be performed by a qualified technician. High voltage is present.
  • Disconnect all electrical power to the unit at the breaker and service panel before beginning work.
  • Safely discharge the existing capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated screwdriver or a high-wattage resistor.
  • Document or photograph the wire connections to the C, HERM, and FAN terminals before removal.
  • Secure the new capacitor in the mounting bracket and connect the wires to the corresponding terminals.

FAQ

Yes. A 440V capacitor is a direct, heavy-duty replacement for a 370V capacitor. It is perfectly safe to use a higher voltage rating than your original part, as it provides better heat tolerance and durability, though you must ensure the microfarad (uF/MFD) ratings match exactly.
Common signs include the AC unit making a humming sound but failing to start, the fan motor struggling to spin or requiring a manual push to start, or the air conditioner blowing warm air. If the top of the capacitor appears domed or swollen, it has failed and requires immediate replacement.
This capacitor features three distinct terminals marked 'HERM', 'FAN', and 'C'. 'HERM' connects to the compressor, 'FAN' connects to the condenser fan motor, and 'C' is the common terminal that connects to the power supply. Always verify your wiring diagram before disconnecting the old part.
This is a universal-style dual run capacitor compatible with most residential and commercial condenser units, including those from Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, York, Goodman, and Bryant. As long as your system requires a 60+5 MFD rating, this part will function correctly regardless of the HVAC equipment brand.
Installation typically takes 15–30 minutes. You will need a screwdriver to remove the access panel, a pair of needle-nose pliers to move the wire terminals, and an insulated screwdriver to safely discharge the old capacitor before handling. Always ensure the power to the unit is completely disconnected at the breaker before beginning.
Capacitors are sensitive to heat and age. Extreme summer temperatures, frequent power surges, or a failing contactor can cause the internal dielectric fluid to break down over time. If your capacitor fails frequently, it is recommended to check the contactor for pitted points, as a faulty contactor can lead to premature capacitor burnout.
