I’d like to get a standby replacement of the below capacitor, but I’m not technically experienced enough to match up the model numbers for the listings that I see. There are a bunch of options that seem to be very close to this on Amazon, but hopefully someone can find a listing for this exact part. Thanks in advance.

440vac/b

I believe you need a 5/50 but not 100% about that.

That is a 50 +5 microfarad capacitor. Should be able to get one over the counter at Coburn’s.

ItsMe has it right. The only numbers you need are:

50/5 MFD (capacitor value for compressor/fan motor)
440VAC (max rated voltage. Anything above 250VAC is OK)

I’d buy this AmRad for your backup - go with an American made capacitor, not Chinese.

Yep, like he said /\ , make sure you buy one made in America. It makes a difference.

The cost has gone up to $39 now for the AmRad.

If you have an electrical supply house near you they can do it from that picture. Not lowes or HD but a place the pros go to.

We have one here and they are very helpful...

I put that number on your picture that starts with 810... into amazon and got this.

I think all the numbers match...

I was very happy today that all their "we only sell to licensed contractors" signs were not enforced so I didn't have to wait a day.

Woke up at 7am to a blown capacitor and fixed by 11. Had to get the kids to school!

Though pushing the fan with a twig would have worked for awhile

They'll usually sell to the public.

The trick is to get them to sell at contractor prices.

Ya I could have gotten it cheaper off Amazon so probably did not get contractor price but I just wanted it done.
