Capacitors
Posted on 7/15/21 at 9:12 pm

Followed advice from many members here and ordered some spare capacitors for my AC units. Came in handy tonight as I went upstairs and it was 86 degrees. My condenser fan wasn’t running but my air handler was, so I pulled the breaker and looked at the capacitor. Didn’t look all the old abs wasn’t bulged but since I had the spare I went ahead and changed it out. Replaced the breaker and she fired right up. Saved my wallet from a service call and wife can still work in her office tomorrow. So a toast to the advice I received from members here.

I have said it numerous times, get a spare capacitor and switch for your condenser.

I got a spare last week per advice here.

Are capacitors all the same or specific to the unit? Can I just buy any capacitor I find online and use that as a spare?
I know very little about HVACs.

Same thing happened to me this afternoon and was able to change capacitor and bypass my ac breaker until I get a new one tomorrow.
