Description

This run capacitor is designed for the indoor evaporator/air handler fan motor to help the motor start and run smoothly, restoring proper airflow and reducing motor strain. What it does:

• Provides the phase-shifted electrical charge the indoor fan motor needs to start and maintain consistent speed.
• Commonly replaced when the fan motor hums, runs intermittently, fails to start, or airflow is reduced.
• Helps prevent overheating and excessive current draw when the original capacitor has failed.
• Matches the OEM form factor and terminals for a direct replacement when listed for your model.

What's included:

• One fan motor run capacitor as shown.

Install notes:

• Power off and unplug the appliance before accessing electrical components; discharge the capacitor before handling to avoid shock.
• Verify capacitor voltage and microfarad (µF) rating on the existing part label to ensure correct replacement.
• Tighten terminals and secure mounting per original configuration to prevent vibration and loose connections.
