GE / Genteq 27L889 97F9851 - 45 + 5 uf MFD 440 Volt VAC Genteq Replacement Round Dual Run Capacitor

Worked flawlessly! Highly recommended!

Capacitor shipped in lighting speed and was at my door within 1 1/2 days of order. Packaged as advertised and works! My 2004 Lennox AC unit stopped working a few days ago. Given its age, i figured it was time to take it out to pasture and started planning for the inevitable replacement while visioning $$$$ disappearing from my wallet. I could hear a humming/surge type noise coming from the unit, compressor not kicking on and the fan was trying to startup but didn't have enough power to start. I was able to manually start the fan but compressor never fired up and house was not cooling. After a few YouTubes I grabbed a few tools and headed to the unit. A quick visual inspection later I saw that my old Capacitor was 'mushroomed' on the top of the canister. After playing Dr Google it began looking like my Capacitor might be bad. I figured I might as well try replacing the Capacitor before calling for a professional tech to come out.Easy to install, had it replaced and AC unit up and running again in less than 10 minutes. If you follow all safety precautions this is a very easy fix. I am still going to have an HVAC tech come out and am preparing for a replacement next year but in the meantime, my AC is back on and working.

Easy to install, but watch a YouTube video to be safe as the capacitor you’re taking out may still have a charge and can shock you.The size was a bit smaller than the same part number which was about eight years old. It was fairly straightforward to bend the mounting strap..If you have any doubt whether you need this part or not with the unit on manually spin the fan blade and if it continues, then you need this part.

My central air has been acting up for a week. Thursday it quit working. Went a couple of days not wanting to call a Tech. Did some research, and found the capacitor is a common thing to go out. So I ordered one. Amazon got it to me in 1.5 days. This Capcom capacitor is said to be a top of the line. Before, the fan wouldn't run, and to compressor was making weird noises. After I replaced the Capacitor, it started right up, and ran like new. Happy days! This Capcom should last, but I will buy an other just in case. Feel like I saved myself a bunch of money on a service call, and inflated price on the capacitor. FYI, I still had window units from the last time it went out, but then I had to replace a condenser that was installed in 1992.

My Trane home A/C stopped cooling recently.. I checked the condenser unit (XE 1100, from 2001), and the fan seemed to be having trouble starting, but even when it ran, there was no cooling at all. The pipe that exits to the house that's supposed to be cold was not even cool. Everything seemed to be OK to my untrained brain, although I couldn't really check the coolant. So, I gambled and ordered the capacitor, which wasn't very expensive, and was already removed for testing.The photo I added shows the original capacitor with wires, but disconnected from bracket (one screw)Replaced the capacitor, and it worked right off, smooth as silk. However, the capacitor's diameter was smaller by about 1/4 inch, and it was longer. The length was no problem, and I got some padding and a piece of bicycle tubing to go under the bracket to make it tight. That wasn't really much of a problem, and it probably would have been secure enough anyway, but I didn't want to take any chances.Note that this was an easy fix, but I have some old experience with electrical equipment, mainly electronics. But I understand electricity, and knew how to avoid getting shocked. There's 220 volts coming in, so if you aren't sure what you are doing, make sure you learn, and be careful. Use one hand at a time, and don't allow yourself to be contacting ground or the A/C chassis, and you'll probably be safe even if you accidentally touch the wrong thing. But best not to do that.

A/C went out during a heatwave. Local company quoted me around $300! Watched a couple YouTube videos, ordered this and was a 10 min swap. Save your $ and DIY it.

Purchased two of these. One as a replacement for the failed one and a spare in case I need it. Quick delivery.

Much cheaper than a retailer / store. Works as it should. Slightly narrower size so I had to adjust the strap. Never the less great value and item.
