40 + 5 MFD uf 370 VAC or 440 Volt Dual Run Round Capacitor PW-40/5/R for Condenser Straight Cool or Heat Pump Air Conditioner 40/5 Micro Farad

It simply works on my AC unit.

Exact fit and replacement. Put in hvac unit and it started right up

Buying through a repairman will cost you 3x more atleast. If you have an AC / SPA, best open compressor housing/ SPA morot cap cover and note values. Most have 2 for AC & just one for spa, a 5 mfd for starting the fan motor and a 40, 50 or 60 etc. for the compressor. Having a spare in the garage can save hundreds of dollars and keep the wife happy if you swap it out and get ac up and running fast. Always kill power from breaker then short common to each of the other leads before touching or removing wires. Very Important!!! Note which color wires go to HERM etc. on the cap, before removal. You don't want to put them on the wrong side! When compressor fan stops working turn off ac immediately to prevent burning out the fan motor or compressor. If you know what to listen for, you can hear the fan running when ac starts up, if it isn't running the cap is probably bad. Alternatively if it is running and ait is hot could be compressor side of cap. I have replaced my AC cap 3x in the last 17 years and my contactor once, but after 20 years the AC is still humming. I used this cap as a temp meaure for my spa pump until the 40mfd caps came in (delayed availability). Worked great and installed the correct one when it arrived 2 weeks later. Did not need the 5 mfd side for spa pump. Now have a spare 40+5.

Parfait

Its a easy task to do yourself and save yourself hundreds. Capacitors can fail for many reasons , very easy to replace *****Please use extreme caution if you do this yourself, a capacitor MUST BE DISCHARGED..!! FIRST pull your air conditioner breaker outside and or turn off the breaker inside your breaker box Remove your AC access cover ..NOW VERY IMPORTANT check with a multimeter set to read VOLTAGE to make sure there is 0 voltage going to your AC unit THOSE THICK WIRES SHOULD "READ ZERO VOLTS" COMING INTO THE CONTACTOR ..Discharge your capacitor by using a VERY INSULATED screwdriver and jumping all the terminals together...Common, Herm, & Fan.. Make note of where the wires are on the original Capacitor or take some pictures.. IF YOU CANT SEE THE MARKINGS ON THE OLD CAP :MOST CAPS WILL HAVE 4 TERMINALS FOR COMMON, 3 FOR HERM , 1 FOR FAN.. remove wires from old cap one by one and install on your new Capacitor. Put everything back turn your power back on and you should be good to go....
