Genteq45/5 uf MFD 440

We used a couple of these in the past as a quick fix and they held up pretty good. One I received was yellow dot and the other was white dot. They worked about the same.My old capacitor was going bad in my 4 ton unit with diminishing capacitance values but it still looked new. Keep in mind that not all capacitors will swell. You must physically check the capacitance values at least twice a year to be sure. If you've never installed one, make sure you research the installation thoroughly because a capacitor can hold a good sized charge and can shock the hell out of you. Only took a few minutes to replace and so far so good.

Great product and easy to install. Just ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS pull the breaker on your power supply to your air conditioning unit VERY VERY IMPORTANT, BE SAFE and make SURE breaker is off... then simply take a photo of how the wires are connected to the old capacitor, then replace with this new one, snap the wires in place EXACTLY as hour photo shows, then you’re finished. Easy. This $16 part saved me the $800 service call that I’ve had to spend before. And this capacitor works great!

This is the 2nd time I have purchased this part. First time was the summer of 2016. Turned the central a/c on and the fan was not spinning. Did some research that said it could be the capacitor so for $18 I figured it couldn’t hurt to order this and hope that was the fix. Sure enough it was! No fast fwd to now summer 2023. Turned on the center a/c for the 1st time of the season. While everything was running including the fan, it just wasn’t dropping the temperature. I figured I’d give this part a try again and just like before, problem solved!! So for $18 bucks and literally less then a minute to install I’d say this is worth having to buy every few years. Last capacitor lasted 7 summers!

It was physically smaller than the cap it replaced, but same electrical specs. Works great, and saved a lot of money doing it myself.

Ok, so it gets 4 stars because it came fast (2 days and I ordered it Friday before Memorial Day weekend and it delivered on SUNDAY), it works, and it saved me the ~$350-$400 AC repairman ~this is a nice neighborhood~ rape job pricing. It got minus one for being a very different size than the 45/5 cap in my unit. I made an improvisation in the mount that I'm not 100% happy with, but hopefully will hold up. Knowing it is much smaller than most 10 yr old caps, would it kill them to throw a piece of that cheap pre-punched hole metal strap in there, and a 3/4-1" screw (to provide for some slop in distance between punched holes) that people can use to remount it? Charge an extra $3 for the trouble.
