Capacitor worked perfectly on our Lennox 10acc-036-230 central air conditioner.If your AC starts blowing warm air, this is one of the very first steps you should take in troubleshooting. A very common part that frequently goes bad in central air conditioning systems over time.When our air conditioning system first started blowing warm air we did the same thing everyone else does...we called up an HVAC repair company to get an appointment scheduled to come look at it. Instant $90 fee to drive here and rattle off the problem. Lucky for us, it just so happened that every company in our local area was almost seven days backed up so we set an appointment and tried to wait. After a few days we felt so miserable that we started looking to see if there was any troubleshooting we could do ourselves in the meantime. Turns out, these capacitors were one of the very first issues we heard about and very frequently cause an AC breakdown. When we popped the cover off our AC unit, we discovered our capacitor was starting to balloon at the top...a sign that it is failing or has already failed. Bingo.Its an extremely easy part to swap out, although common sense and typical practices of turning off breakers before working on an AC unit are still a must. After all, we are still dealing with a 240-volt source. Make sure you properly discharge the old capacitor before removing it (touch 2 prongs with a metal screwdriver AND hold ONLY the plastic handle) as even a bad capacitor can still have a certain amount of charge. After that, take note of exactly which color of wires attach to which connection on the top of the old capacitor before removing it. DO NOT GET THIS MIXED UP. It helps to take a picture with your phone just as a reference. At that point, it's simply Plug and Play the exact same wires on a new capacitor and you are all set to go.I suppose this review is more about the dual-run capacitor in general than this specific capacitor, although this particular capacitor worked out perfectly for our Lennox 10acc-036-230 AC unit.Did I mention the part was less than $20 compared to an easy $250+ for an company to come out...often times many days later after waiting in the heat. There is a multimeter tool that can give you the microfarad readings to tell if your current capacitor is bad, but since the average homeowner won't have this tool on hand it never hurts just to buy this and try it out. If it doesn't work, just return it and go the next step of hiring an HVAC company.Great product at a great price that feels worth its weight in gold...on a hot day!

I live in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Summer temps on the ground routinely reach 115 degrees. A typical Asian made capacitor will last about 3 years in an AC unit here. These tend to go for 7-10 years. I check them every year before summer anyways just to be sure. If you are running your AC with a weak capacitor then you can do damage to the compressor and/or fan motor. It's worth it to make sure you always have good capacitors. When a compressor goes bad it's usually not worth replacing and you end up buying a whole new unit. Good capacitors are cheep insurance and can save you thousands or tens of thousands in repair bills. If you ever replace the fan motor make sure the capacitor matches the label on the side of the new motor. New units often come with a 5 microfarad capacitor but rescue motors often require 7.5 microfarad capacitors. I have found units with the wrong capacitor because someone replaced the fan motor without replacing or checking the capacitor to make sure it is the correct value.

We had a heat wave all summer and then the A/C quit. Yikes! fortunately the temperature cooled a bit while the part was intransit. Fixed the A/C and all was happy in the house.

Air conditioner continues to work perfectly. The outside fan over the condenser had stopped running. No cool air in the house. It was easy to evaluate the need for replacement, the old capacitor was leaking and slightly swollen. The capacitor tells the fan/condenser when to start and go off and on. Can’t miss need for repair. Simple fix.
