BlueStars Upgraded Version 10 uF MFD ±5% 370/440V CBB65 Oval Run Start Capacitor Replacement Part - Fit for AC Motor Run or Fan Start and Cool or Heat Pump Air Conditioner - Lifetime Up to 30.000 hrs

TLDR: Capacitor works great and is a fantastic bargain compared to calling an HVAC tech. Attached photos are of the old capacitor and resulting frozen coil.Here’s the longer story for homeowners who may benefit from my trouble shooting endeavors…My heat pump system wasn’t cooling our house but I could here the outdoor compressor unit running, so I removed the cover on the front of the air handler in the basement to see what could be the issue. The coil was frozen solid with white ice and the fan wasn’t blowing. I could see that the hot wire to the terminal on the capacitor for the fan had corroded so much that it broke free and must be the cause of my problems. Having had a leak in the coil two years prior I knew the procedure for deicing the coil was to switch from cooling to heating on the thermostat until the ice was melted and then shut down the system (the heat pump system is 15 years old and is getting replaced in the near future). After that I switched off the circuit breakers to the air handler and removed the old capacitor and started searching online for a replacement part based on the microfarad rating and other info on the side of the old capacitor. After reading through some HVAC forums I determined that this BlueStars capacitor should get me back up and running and that the 440 VAC rating would work fine for replacing my old one rated for 370 VAC. I also bought an inexpensive pack of wire terminal clips to fix the hot wire that had broken. Once everything arrived I got the BlueStars capacitor hooked up with the new terminal clip and everything worked perfectly when I started up the system. I didn’t get an estimate from an HVAC company but I am guessing I saved a couple hundred dollars at a cost of an hour or two of work and research and maybe an extra day or two of waiting for parts to arrive assuming the HVAC company would have had the right capacitor immediately available. All in all I am thrilled with this purchase and the money it saved me!
