TEMCo Industrial 35+5 uf/MFD 370-440 VAC Volts Round Dual Run Capacitor 50/60 Hz AC Electric - Lot -1

Cap arrived within 1 day. Popped it in and it worked! Just don’t forget to pull the power and let the original rest for 20-30 minutes before starting! Caps can store a lot of power.

Paid 5.99 shipping fee, and waited for two weeks got from the States!Good thing is that it works perfectly with our air conditioner!Should buy another one as spare.

Good

Fixed my AC.

I bought this April 2015 and it died in August 2019. The previous run capacitor in the AC unit had lasted approximately 25 years. I have read online that the market is flooded with inexpensive Chinese-made motor capacitors and I have seen run capacitors sold for as cheaply as $5 elsewhere. It looks like this one is no different than those others. Incidentally I have a bench grinder in my shop with a motor starting cap in it that is over 80 years old. While that is much nicer of an environment for these the fact is that they can be manufactured with better quality than this one. On top of that, this one failed on the compressor side of the capacitor not the fan side so the AC unit was merrily blowing away with the fan with no compressor activity, and it took a lot longer to notice the unit was not cooling. The cap also did not bulge or deform or otherwise look like it failed but I had bought a spare cap last time I replaced this and had it on the shelf so swapped it for testing.
