45+5 uf MFD 370/440 Volt Dual Run Round Capacitor 45/5/440R Condenser Straight Cool/Heat Pump Air Conditioner

Bought in 2023 to be ready for the need. July 1, 2026 my AC capacitor went out. I watched a YouTube video and replaced the original with this one in about 15 minutes. After which, the compressor fired right up, and the house began to cool back down. It was smaller than the original that came with the compressor, but the retaining band tightened enough to hold it in place. That was the only difference between the two. I had removed the panel from my compressor and read the requirements needed before I selected this capacitor. I don't know how long it will last, so I can't speak to its durability. There are other models here on Amazon that cost up to twice this amount. Installation was a breeze and compared with other models sold on Amazon, this is a great value for the money. I have a Goodman Compressor, and it turned 10 years old this July. It is the first time I have had a capacitor failure since it was installed. I am reordering this same unit today to keep as a spare in case I need a backup later. The local A/C company wanted about $200 to come replace it with one they were going to sell me. I figure I've saved $185. by doing it myself and that's a pretty good value even if it only lasts half as long as the original.

Have a 10 yr old carrier ac only unit, died after a short power outage. Troubleshooting pointed to a capacitor problem (compressor started, but fan couldnt get going, but manually pushing it with a screwdriver got it spinning). This capacitor was an exact fit to my old one's size (a Castor oil model) so no need to mess with the bracket. So far its working well! And 1 day delivery was great, didnt have to wait in August Virginia heat.

I installed this capacitor in our a/c two days ago, and it is working fine so far. It is a direct replacement in all ratings and terminal locations. I had already replaced the original capacitor with separate 45uf and 5uf capacitors a few years ago, so I can't speak to the exact size and mounting clamp being the same or different as the original. This unit was easy to mount and is secure using the mounting clamp I made. One common reason for failure of this type of capacitor is power line fluctuations. That can occur if the power shuts off unexpectedly (e.g. storm), from lightning nearby, power spikes, and other types of power problems that cause voltage instability. Over time, the capacitor's performance will degrade until it fails. This is true of all polymer capacitors, not just the one from this supplier. I keep a spare capacitor because of the occasional power fluctuations we have in our area. I will be ordering a second capacitor from this supplier so I still have a spare.

I spend 24 extra hours without AC because the repair company didn’t have the part in stock. I bought this so if it fails I can get a repair immediately.

Works as it should. I did a preemptive replacement on my outside A/C fan last Fall. It's been working fine, specially considering how hot the Summer has been this year (2024). Yah I would buy again.
