I noticed my Bryant/Carrier condenser fan was humming (9 years old), but it wasn't spinning, and the compressor was shut off at the same time. First, turn off the electricity to the condenser unit. Take off the '6 screws') If the top of the capacitor bulges, it is damaged. **** - A couple of photos taken with your phone will suffice to demonstrate the Reconfirm the electric power is off, discharge the capacitor by touching the contacts of the capacitor together with insulated needle nosed pliers, repeat the process for each of the contacts on the capacitor's casing, and then reassemble the capacitor. As a result, you can now remove slide-on connectors with pliers and remain safe. Please use the picture from your phone to check that the new unit is connected properly. * This part needs to be reassembled, if you don't mind spending $240 or more.

I had cold air, but not air from the AC. There has been a problem with the compressor fan in my Carrier outdoor unit since it was installed six Despite the fact that it did not appear abnormal, there was no bulge on the cap's top which could indicate a bad capacitor. Therefore, I went ahead and ordered this part, and after fitting it, the compressor fan works again, and the air conditioner blows cold air once again. When replacing the capacitor, make sure you cut off power to the outside unit. It is recommended to place the disconnect behind the wall unit. You should also make sure your thermostat is on the off position. Last but not least, the connectors should be ground on the old capacitor so that any stored energy can be released. You can do that by touching the common lead to the herms lead and the common lead to the fan lead with a screwdriver. You should dissipate the charge in the capacitor by doing this. You can also use a crow bar or something of similar size to get the compressor fan spinning on top of the unit if the fan will not spin, until the part is delivered it will then start on its own and you will have cooling until the part comes in. It's only natural that this procedure has to be repeated every time the air conditioner shuts off.

I had to pay my local AC professionals 160 to change my capacitors. Saving some money is what prompted me to do the work myself. It's not difficult, but you must be careful to be sure the electricity is turned off while you do it. From start to finish, it took me less than twenty minutes and cost less than twenty dollars.

Keep an eye on how you touch the electric current. There is one more tip to share You should not take into account that there is no bulging in the capacitor, since this is a 2 in 1 capacitor (for want of a better term), meaning it is both a capacitor for the fan and a capacitor for the compressor. There is no evidence of a bulging capacitor while the capacitor of the fan is working and may be functioning but it is not functioning the compressor! During my visit today with an AC technician, I learned that. In my case, about a few years ago, I replaced my capacitor myself. There was no running of either the compressor or the fan at that moment, and the capacitor was bulging out of shape. However, the fan was running but it didn't cool down over the weekend. So I thought it was something else, but after the technician showed up, he confirmed it was just a capacitor. I would say the moral of the story is to try to replace the capacitor yourself before you call AC repair people (which will charge upwards of $300 just to replace the capacitor because their capacitors are welded with golden unicorn tears). Why only three stars? A notable difference between this capacitor and the previous one is its short lifespan. The original one I had lasted more than 16 Despite being less than five, it bonked out within five minutes. expect this to last longer than a capacitor, since it is just a small component.

The year has almost come to an end. Two days short. I looked at my order history and see I order new ones every July 6. This month. This item is a repeat of one I ordered last year. The other one was made in the United States. I didn't look. I'm not sure where this one is made. My criteria were the items that could be shipped as soon as possible. I examined this one and found it to be bulge-free. It was not a good replacement, but I replaced it anyway with a USA made one ordered last year, and sure enough the capacitor was faulty. As long as you plan ahead, it might not be a problem. Perhaps my motor has some extra load due to its In any case, I bought an off brand one in 2018 and it lasted for There's no way to tell if they should last longer than they do. It's not down south for me I live here in NY. As a result, AC is only needed during the summer months and at a few other times throughout The part that I found helpful worked well A year and a half.

I was in danger of a perpetual wet t-shirt until I found this cap We couldn't get anyone to attend a shirt contest. I had the same problem with my air conditioner, which always gave up when I needed it the most.

When I returned home after a long weekend in the forest, I found that the thermostat was reading an unusually warm 88 degrees Fahrenheit, when it was squeezing 78 degrees Fahrenheit. It is not likely that the air conditioning was working as it should, said my highly observant and heat loving wife. Nothing but hot, humid air would come out of the fan. Outside, I discovered that the outside central air unit was not firing up the fan or the compressor. I did some Googling later and was able to determine that the capacitor was the main issue, so I tried it. The number 0 was printed on one side. On one, 7*F is read, while the other reads Nine degrees Fahrenheit. The capacitor in my car was bad. Luckily, Amazon is on hand to help. I slapped this puppy into the house a couple days later (too easy), fired up the air conditioner, and . . I was able to put it to use! After the system cooled down for about an hour, it took a few more for the temperature to reach the set point. Thanks to my success in sleeping without waking up in a pool of sweat, I was rewarded with a good night's sleep.
