GE Genteq Round Capacitor 60 5 uf MFD 440 Volt Z97F9897 97F9897

Found out my capacitor was nearing failure during routine HVAC maintenance, and the technician quoted me $270 to replace. I kindly said "no thank you" and found this part to do it myself. The unit I purchased was from North America HVAC, and appears to be a genuine OEM replacement from Genteq (formerly GE).The unit arrived with a slight deformation in one of the leads (happened during shipment, I assume), but that was nbd and easily fixed by gently/slowly bending back into place with pliers.Before installing, I checked for continuity between Common and the two capacitance leads and there was none (good thing). I also measured the capacitance between Common and the two other leads, and got the following results:HERM: 61.4 μfFAN: 5.13 μfBoth were well within the specification of ±6%, coming in at +2.33% (HERM) and +2.6% (FAN).Installation was a breeze and took only ~10 minutes to saved ~$250. I recommend it.

This capacitor is the replacement for or old one, which took a dump during a brutal heatwave in SoCal. Took 3 days to get here (thanks, Labor Day!), and was I happy to see it! Half hour later the AC turned on, it was music to my ears. It is approx a third smaller than the original, so I had to cut some hose to make a collar for the new capacitor ... that took more time than the installation itself. Should've bought a replacement bracket, which I will do later. The Missus loves it, so that's good enough for me! Thanks! A+

Not sure why or where it happens, but even though these are boxed, they arrive all dented up. Not sure why Amazon ships a heavy item like this in a padded envelope. Time will tell if it works. Box gives you the appearance it has been around for a while.Item as stated, but not perfect like the one in the picture.

I had problems with my air conditioner all last summer. The circuit breaker would constantly trip whenever the air conditioner came back on. I had many people tell me what the problem could be, I cleaned the ooils I straightened all the fins. I put in the new circuit breaker. I had known a little about motor capacitors and it seemed to me that it could be the problem. I researched online to see what one looked like and found mine. I checked it with a multi-meter and wasn't really sure if it was the problem, but thirty bucks as compared to what an air conditioner repair person to come out to my very rural abode was worth the gamble. The capacitor came in the mail in a very timely fashion and when I put it in the air conditioner it fixed my problem and works like a dream. This year I have air conditioning and no tripped breakers. Something to think about if this sounds familiar. Make sure to take a picture of the wiring before disconnecting your old capacitor so that you get the wiring hooked up the right way. Don't get zapped, pull your breaker first...
