Steve P Indianapolis , IN September 02, 2014 Appliance: Model FIGIDAIRE LRA257ST20 Blower fan would not reliably come on compressor worked ok Air circulation (blower) fan would not come on reliably. Had a hard time getting up to speed and sometimes would not even run. This capacitor fixed that problem, fan comes on quickly like it was when new. This is a 25,000 BTU room air conditioner, I didn't want to replace it with another one for about $700 especially since it is only 3 years old. I spent under $40 to fix it.

Jennifer L Saint Petersburg , FL May 11, 2014 Appliance: Frigidaire Frig/Rac FRA18EMT210 Stopped working and over heated After going round and round with Frigidaire, for over a week trying to find someone to service my room AC,(I must have called every company in my area). No one fixes room ac units any more. All I kept hearing was the repairs are costly I should just buy a new one. The unit was only 3-1/2 years old. I'm not buying a new one! We got brave and unscrewed countless screws and looked inside to see a swollen, melted looking capacitor. Called AppliancePartsPros, ordered it on a Tuesday night, received it on Thursday. The capacitor was easy to install and the machine worked!! For less than $40 my unit is working, whew! Now we can add to our DIY skills AC Repair!

Mark H Markle , IN June 25, 2014 Appliance: Model FRIGIDAIRE AIR CONDITIONER Air conditioner blower motor would not start just hum Plugged in the model number in your website, pulled up the service manuals and located the correct part. I ordered the part after work one day at around 5 pm and added on the 2nd day delivery guarantee for a few extra dollars (because it's about 90 degrees out and its the whole house air conditioner!) Was amazed that the part arrived the very next morning! Put the part in during my lunch hour and everything worked perfectly. Saved hundreds of dollars over having a service company plug in three wires and attach the part with one screw.
