Replaced the capacitor and all has been running cool again for about a week. Replaced my neighbor’s too. Theirs stopped working again after 48 hrs. One more replacement on theirs and we’re at 72 hrs of runtime since replacement.

    You look up the model and it will tell you the size of capacitor to get. They are like $15 if you order them online

    Mine actually had the part listed in a paper inside the unit. Turns out the last AC guy put the wrong size in mine

      You know the capacitor is matched to the motor and not the condenser. sometimes when the motor is changed with aftermarket one, it could require different capacitor.

      It was probably just the size he had on the truck. And he wasn’t about to go back to the shop to get the right one. He’s ain’t got time for that shit.
