Compatibility & Fitment

  • Designed for HVAC systems, AC units, heat pumps, and furnaces.
  • Functions as a direct replacement for any dual run capacitor with matching 35/5 MFD and 370V or 440V specifications.
  • Provides power to the compressor motor (35 MFD) and the fan motor (5 MFD) in a single unit.
  • Compatible with units from brands such as GE, Genteq, Capcom, and others requiring equivalent specifications.

When to Replace

  • Compressor or fan motor fails to start or hums loudly.
  • Fan blades turn slowly or require a manual push to start.
  • AC unit is not cooling effectively.
  • Visible signs of damage on the old capacitor, such as swelling, bulging, or fluid leakage.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect all electrical power to the HVAC unit before beginning work.
  • Safely discharge the existing capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated tool.
  • Verify the wiring connections (C, HERM, FAN) before removing the old capacitor.
  • Ensure the new capacitor's MFD rating (35/5) matches the original. The voltage rating can be equal to or higher than the original (e.g., a 440V capacitor can replace a 370V capacitor), but not lower.

FAQ

This unit is a direct replacement for GE and Genteq part numbers 97F9834 and Z97F9834. It is also compatible with capacitors labeled with the specification 35+5 MFD at 370 or 440 VAC.
If your air conditioner or heat pump is struggling to start, making a humming noise without the fan spinning, or if the unit is blowing warm air while the compressor fails to engage, the capacitor is likely the culprit. A visual inspection may also reveal a bulging top or signs of leaking oil, which are clear indicators that the component needs to be replaced.
The installation is generally straightforward and can be completed in about 15 to 30 minutes. You will primarily need a screwdriver to access the electrical panel and a pair of insulated needle-nose pliers to transfer the wire connectors. Always ensure the power to the HVAC unit is completely shut off at the breaker before beginning.
Capacitors are heat-sensitive components. Over time, the internal dielectric material degrades due to the high operating temperatures inside the electrical cabinet and the constant electrical stress of starting the compressor and fan motor. Exposure to extreme weather conditions and age are the most common factors leading to eventual failure.
Yes, you can safely use a 440 VAC capacitor in place of a 370 VAC unit. The voltage rating on a capacitor represents the maximum voltage it can handle; therefore, a higher voltage rating is perfectly acceptable and often provides a longer service life, provided the MFD (microfarad) rating matches your equipment requirements.
Before installing the new capacitor, inspect the wire terminals for any signs of corrosion or melting. If the connectors are loose, crimp them slightly with pliers to ensure a tight, secure fit on the new terminals. A loose connection can cause arcing and lead to premature failure of the new part.
