Product Description
A capacitor is an electric component that temporarily stores an electrical charge. A dual "run capacitor" supports two electric motors, such as a fan motor and a compressor. Round dual run capacitors are used to start and run the unit more efficient. It saves space by combining two physical capacitors into one case. The dual capacitor has three terminals labeled "C", "FAN", and "HERM", which stand for the *C*ommon, Fan, and *HERM*etically sealed compressor.
Dual capacitors come in a variety of sizes, depending on the capacitance (µF = MFD = micro farad), such as 60 plus 5 µF, and also the voltage. A 440 volt capacitor can be used in place of a 370 volt, as it is build better, but the 370 can’t be used in place of a 440 volt. It will work for a while and will fail prematurely, as exceeding the capacitor's rated voltage will cause the dielectric to break down and the capacitor to short out. Same as an electric wire- 600V rated wire is better than 300V one .The capacitance(µF or MFD or micro farad) must be the same or stay within 10%+ or 5%- of its original value . Example: 60 µF cap can be substituted by 57 - 66 MFD with the same or better voltage ratings capacitor.
If your fan is working but compressor not, or the capacitor is bulged on top most likely your capacitor is defective. Round capacitor can be used to substitute oval shape one with the same MFD AND Volt specs.
You will ask “Why I need a Cap that is rated 440V in my A/C?”
Answer: You need to realize that a motor is an inductive device. When the supply voltage is applied to the motor run winding, the voltage across the start winding will be increased to a higher voltage value. A motor acts like a transformer with the run winding acting as the primary and the start winding acting as the secondary. This is why the capacitor has a much higher voltage rating than the 230 being the supply voltage.
If a Capacitor is not EIA-456-A approved means it is NOT approved for USA market.

I did a lot of research to learn why our A/C was blowing hot air and was about to call a technician to troubleshoot it, since it went bad last month in August 2018 and was close to 100 degrees outside the house during the day and at night time it was 85 degrees inside the house while sleeping. I learned the capacitor went bad for one of our A/C units, so I ordered two of the same capacitors to replace both of them just in case our A/C unit for upstairs system goes bad since they both originally came with the house 12 years ago.
Replacing these was actually extremely super easy and I thought it would be hard to do until I watched several videos on YouTube video on how to replace the capacitor. It took me less than 15 minutes for each unit and I just use standard tools to remove the cover plate and disconnect the capacitor. After flipping the power switch back on to the unit, I immediately felt cold air into the house and we finally had a good night of sleep in nice cool house!!!
It has been over a month now and it's still working strong with absolutely no issue. I hope it last as long as our previous capacitor did. The first (4) pictures is what my original rusty capacitor looked like for both A/C units (don't mind my little dog, she loves to watch me while I work) and the last photo I cleaned the area before I installed the new capacitor.

The capacitor fit right in. Wiring was easy. The old cap was pretty rusty but I was able to read 2 of the labels. The unit started right up and has gotten us through so far.
Installation of capacitor involved loosening the holding bracket, removing old capacitor, removing the wires, connecting wires to new capacitor, putting capacitor in bracket and tightening.
Hit the reset button and the compressor and fan started.
Easy and inexpensive air conditioner repair. A/C worked fine all summer.
