Genteq50 + 7.5 uF MFD x 440 VAC GE Industrial Replacement Dual Capacitor Round # C45075R / 97F9987

Capacitor worked perfectly on our Lennox 10acc-036-230 central air conditioner.If your AC starts blowing warm air, this is one of the very first steps you should take in troubleshooting. A very common part that frequently goes bad in central air conditioning systems over time.When our air conditioning system first started blowing warm air we did the same thing everyone else does...we called up an HVAC repair company to get an appointment scheduled to come look at it. Instant $90 fee to drive here and rattle off the problem. Lucky for us, it just so happened that every company in our local area was almost seven days backed up so we set an appointment and tried to wait. After a few days we felt so miserable that we started looking to see if there was any troubleshooting we could do ourselves in the meantime. Turns out, these capacitors were one of the very first issues we heard about and very frequently cause an AC breakdown. When we popped the cover off our AC unit, we discovered our capacitor was starting to balloon at the top...a sign that it is failing or has already failed. Bingo.Its an extremely easy part to swap out, although common sense and typical practices of turning off breakers before working on an AC unit are still a must. After all, we are still dealing with a 240-volt source. Make sure you properly discharge the old capacitor before removing it (touch 2 prongs with a metal screwdriver AND hold ONLY the plastic handle) as even a bad capacitor can still have a certain amount of charge. After that, take note of exactly which color of wires attach to which connection on the top of the old capacitor before removing it. DO NOT GET THIS MIXED UP. It helps to take a picture with your phone just as a reference. At that point, it's simply Plug and Play the exact same wires on a new capacitor and you are all set to go.I suppose this review is more about the dual-run capacitor in general than this specific capacitor, although this particular capacitor worked out perfectly for our Lennox 10acc-036-230 AC unit.Did I mention the part was less than $20 compared to an easy $250+ for an company to come out...often times many days later after waiting in the heat. There is a multimeter tool that can give you the microfarad readings to tell if your current capacitor is bad, but since the average homeowner won't have this tool on hand it never hurts just to buy this and try it out. If it doesn't work, just return it and go the next step of hiring an HVAC company.Great product at a great price that feels worth its weight in gold...on a hot day!

Correct values and quick arrival

Air conditioner continues to work perfectly. The outside fan over the condenser had stopped running. No cool air in the house. It was easy to evaluate the need for replacement, the old capacitor was leaking and slightly swollen. The capacitor tells the fan/condenser when to start and go off and on. Can’t miss need for repair. Simple fix.

The symptom with my Lennox AC unit was that it was not cooling. The inside fan would blow, but just room temp (increasingly warmer) air. I went outside and noticed the fan on the outside unit was not spinning but was just humming. I started the fan manually (by spraying some water on it to get it started, and it started, but still no cooling. The diagnosis is that the dual capacitor that both starts the fan and starts the compressor/condenser wasn’t working. The capacitor supplies the extra ooomph these electric parts need to start, while the line electricity keeps them running once started.This may be one of the few parts that I would feel comfortable replacing on my Lennox AC unit, and it took five minutes to install. There are Youtube videos that walk you through it, but the cool thing is that this is a standalone part that is very accessible and only has 3 wires. Very easy to fix.Step 1 = Turn off power to outside unit—there should be a circuit breaker or pullout socket on an outside box attached to your house next to the unit. Step 2 = Remove small corner cover on outside unit. Step 3 = Locate Pepsi can sized capacitor, usually attached by a separate bracket and apart from the circuit board. Step 4 = There are three wires attached to it, note which wires are which (Herm, Common/C, and the other). I marked the color of the wires next to the wire terminal on each. Step 5 = Using an insulated screwdriver, discharge any electricity stored in the bad capacitor by bridging the terminals. Step 6 = With a needlenose plied, carefully pull off each of the wires on the old (bad) capacitor. Loosen one end of the bracket clamp holding the capacitor and remove the capacitor. Step 7 = Put the new capacitor on, in the same orientation as the old one, and tighten the bracket clamp (snug not too tight). Step 8 =. Connect the wires just like they were connected on the old one, per your notes. Step 9 = Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker, and turn on power to the unit inside your house if you turned that off. Set your thermostat so it will click on. Step 10 = Either wait a minute or four for the unit to power on, or push in the actuator on the unit if you’d like extra credit. Step 11 = The fan should start spinning and the unit should start cooling the house. If so, it works and you can put the cover back on.My capacitor arrived with a dent, but it works. They really should pack these better, as the walls of the capacitor are thin.Our HVAC company wanted $400 to do this!

These are great capacitors. Ordered this and a spare for our AC unit. Glad I found these

Definitely a good buy for your money and easy to install

My A/C was making a bussing noise. I noticed the fan was not spinning. I gave it a nudge with a stick and it started to spin. That Is when I knew it was probably a starter capacitor. I took off the side panel and saw the capacitor was buldging.The local shop had a capacitor for 50$ this one was deliverable by 7am. I did have to pay an extra two and a half dollars for next day delivery, but as soon as I plugged it in the A/C started working again.

The product was installed by a professional AC technician. The product works well and I am pleased with the purchase at a reasonable cost.

Excellent product. Excellent price. Fast delivery

We had a heat wave all summer and then the A/C quit. Yikes! fortunately the temperature cooled a bit while the part was intransit. Fixed the A/C and all was happy in the house.

Great
