Capacitor for Air Conditioner 20 uf MFD 370 or 440 Volt VAC, Multi-Purpose Round Capacitor for AC Motor Run or Fan Motor Start or Condenser Straight

Common part failure here in Florida, the part was delivered on time, description match the product, no issues after 2 months, saved us a lot of money. Will buy a second to have it on hand.

This part was a perfect replacement for my failed capacitor. Time will tell if it lasts but it was so cheap and It’s such an easy fix, I’m not really worried about it. If you own a home, I highly recommend you learn how to replace this capacitor. It only takes 10 minutes and it will save you hundreds of dollars, especially if you have to do more than one in your life. My AC unit is under warranty, but only the parts, not labor. So it would’ve cost me $200-$300 to get this fixed under a warranty claim. This is a much better option.

A tad smaller than the one I just replaced, but it tested good. I always keep a spare on hand, so this will go back in my parts box until the next time my renter calls at 10pm on a Friday night that the AC has crapped out.

This was easy to swap out with my previous capacitor and saved a lot of money an an AC repair. Be sure to watch a few YouTube videos first so you don't make any dumb mistakes like forgetting to short out the leads with a screw driver before touching the capacitor.

Worked for what I needed. Its just a capacitor.

I have been a ARIZONA registered master heat pump technician for over 25 years.The problem I have noticed with capacitors is that many of them are defective out of the box.The reason I say that is I test the microfarads while the capacitor is under load which will tell me it’s exact microfarad rating. This is done by checking the amps and volts wile it is running. I use what I call the 2652 method.The simple formula is Start Winding Amps X 2,652 ÷ Capacitor Voltage = Microfarads.Sample: 5 amps Times 2652 divided 369 volts =35µFThis is the correct way to test a capacitor. There are meters that have capacitor testers settings on them but I never used them because they are pretty much useless unless you just wanna know what size it is. You need to put a capacitor under load to make sure it doesn’t have any leaking Through that dielectric.This capacitor I have bought several times and it is exact to what it is rated at.Some brands of air conditioners you will find bad capacors on every one of them when you fire them up new. I don’t wanna mention any names but one that does this the most makes air conditioners that start with the letter C and another brand with the letter B. They actually buy rejected capacitors for their units to get them cheaper so sad.It’s very important to have a correctly size capacitor to create a third leg properly. This is basically making a third phase. If you’re capacitor is leaking electricity through the dielectric it will shorten the life of your unit. About 25% of brand new air conditioner run capacitors do not pass the test.They can only be as far as 10% off of what they’re rated at is there any greater than that it’s best to throw them away. It’s also a good thing to change your air conditioning run capacitor at least every four years. In hotter states possibly more often.They make a 370 V and the 440 V capacitorsI highly recommend going with the 440 V rating it will put up with more heat and will last longer.The 440 V rating only means how much electricity it can handle. So it’s basically heavier duty than the 380V ones. Your air conditioner might be 220 V but when the compressor is running the voltage across the run cap can double that. So be warned if you’re going to test a live Ron cab you’re going to have to be extremely careful because the voltage coming off that run cap can kill you.With that being said I recommend this brand.

It's keeping my compressor unit running.These are worth having on hand, as a spare. Not difficult to change out, just be sure to disable power to the compressor unit and don't touch the terminals on the capacitor coming out of the unit, as they can store a charge (even after the power is disabled). Aside from shop-vaccing out a clogged condensate drain line, this is probably the easiest home owner "AC system fix." Expect an AC contractor to charge $125 at the low end, to come out and change one.

Perfect capacitor for a portable air conditioner save a lot of cash!

Buena calidad tiene aproximadamente 4 meses y a funcionado exelente lo recomiendo al 100%

so happy this fixed an old ac.
