7.5uF 370/440VAC 50/60Hz CBB65 CBB65A Oval Run Start Capacitor 7.5 MFD 370V/440V Air Conditioner Capacitors for AC Unit Fan Motor Start or Pool Pump or Air Condenser Straight Cool

Watched a YouTube video of the most common Central Air not working fixes. I went out and checked mine as it has not worked a couple of years. Sure enough, the main fan was working, but touching the compressor tube, you could feel it pulling every second or so, but not starting. Removing the old part and measuring it, the fan side was good and the compressor side was bad. Watch some YouTube videos if you dont know how to do that. It's not difficult.Anyways, after kicking myself in the butt for 5 minutes straight, I ordered a replacement here on Amazon. Product arrived fine and appears to be a well built part.Steps to replace it:1)To start, most units have an outdoor circuit breaker you can pull to de-energize the unit. Pull that and/or flip the switch for the CA unit in your main fuse box. Next, remove the side access port on the outside unit, usually just two screws to get access to where the starter cap and relays are.2)Checked the old cap to make sure it was de-energized (Very important step!!!). Do not touch those wires if it's still energized! If the unit is truely powered down and you still measure voltage on the old cap, you may need to discharge the old cap. Remember though, there are TWO caps in one and you need to discharge BOTH. If either still has a charge, they could give you a serious bite. Not to scare you away from doing it, you just have to be safe.3)Marked the color of the wires and where they plugged into on the old cap. Note:Take a couple of pictures of the old cap and what wire goes where on it. This can be good to reference later!4)Unplugged all the wires from the old cap and loosened the strap holding it in, and removed it.5)Fit the new cap in under the strap, tighten it down but not so tight that it could dent the new cap, and plugged the wires into the new cap in the same positions as the old cap.Note: In most cases, the compressor will plug into the terminal stamped HERM. The fan goes to Fan if stamped. There are often two wires that were on the same terminal on the old cap, and that is the common. Plug all the wires in and DOUBLE CHECK you did it right. Take a picture of the old one at the start if you're not sure.6)Put the side access cover back on the unit.7)Reinstall the circuit breaker. Set the thermostat to turn it on and hopefully you have nice cool air blowing in a few minutes!8)Especially if this fixes it, a very important step is to order a second cap!!! Then you dont have to wait long if it goes out. These get stressed every time the fan or compressor turns on. They do go bad eventually, so just have a backup ready. You will hopefully get a good 3-5 years out of the cap.In the attached picture, the temp was 78, now 71. Spouse and kids are happy. Therefore. I am happy.

Worked great on my portable a/c unit that was no longer blowing cold air. Once I replaced the part it works without issues. Before, the a/c unit would trip the circut breaker or turn off constantly from day one. Its been a week later since I replaced this part and it works great! I went with this slightly bigger size compared to what the a/c originally had, but after another review mentioned this would be helpful, I decided to try it and it works fine. Of course, at my own risk I tried it but I needed my portable a/c unit to work instead of spending another $500 to buy a new one.

Arrived as advertised, install took 15 minutes with slight learning curve for this model heat pump and it fired right up as it did two days prior!Thank you for making a quality product and it hope the long term review will reflect a decent life span!We have many 'brownouts' and had another AC unit for out next door 36 hours prior to this one. Dirty grid power or regular outages of 5+ seconds are very hard on capacitors in air conditioners!I was curious so I looked into it and ~83% of all HVAC related service calls are capacitor related...I bought two for each unit so we have one sitting in the storage room to use as a quick fix next time one goes out.It is not about the quality of the capacitor as it is the amount of abuse the component takes.Signed of poor construction are barely starting the motor from day one to swelling of the can which indicates it was barely staying sealed when the insides want to blow up.The welds are great, can is clean, connectors are strong and sized properly.It provides the needed burst of energy to get the compressor running and I hope it continues for a long time to come.Best wishes and I hope this helps.

One day delivery and the heat is supposed to be 100 this week. Took about 10 minutes to replace and turn back on. Just make sure all power is off and out of capacitor before touching the old one. I took a pic so that I knew exactly where to put each wire. I highly recommend so far. No clue on how long they last yet. Happy customer here though. I can’t thank Amazon enough for carrying items like this. You really saved me. Fixed right before this heat wave in Ohio. Nice and cold in my house. Such an easy fix. If you know anything about electrical it’s easy. Please don’t waste 400-1,000 getting it replaced.

The capacitor works well as soon as it was plugged-in. However, I was focusing on the capacity and the voltage rating, but didn’t know the capacitors come with different sizes for the same capacity and voltage rating. Make sure you pay attention to the diameter 2 inches vs. 2.25 inches so you get the desirable size because size does matter…

My Goodman HVAC unit fan was not functioning properly, spinning super slow. I didn’t think it was my capacitor because my understanding was that they kick start the fan, so if my fan was working then it was fine. This was so cheap I thought I’d give it a try. Lo and behold, it worked! Took all of 5 minutes to do and my AC is as good as new. Moral of the story, anytime I have fan issues I will try the capacitor first. Hopefully the quality of this is good and lasts a while

Fixed my furnace issue.The furnace blower motor capacitor had aged and died. Easy voltage meter confirmation and had this on order. I was able to wait and not deal with local electrical supply houses that don’t want to sell to you and give you a hard time for not being a licensed HVAC contractor- it isn’t needed to do your own repairs! It would have been a $300 service call for $10 repair. Thank you for offering this!
