If you remember, a dual round is two capacitors in one package, wiring up a single capacitor is simple. Is this true? The fan side can be replaced with a single if the compressor side doesn't work. Since the compressor side cap is good it will work. Show Let's Get It Fixed!HomeX virtual experts will assess your issue (for free!) and can resolve simple problems.

shane.harper.anderson 6
years ago Tried to fix my own AC. Had a technician come out and tell me my contactor S shane.harper.anderson 6 years ago or and capacitor needed to be replaced. He wanted to charge me $500 to do both so decided to try it myself. I bought both items and changed out the contactor easily enough just by going wire to wire. However, the AC unit wa s using a single capacitor with a start capacitor and I switched to a dual capacitor. Figured out where the wires were supposed to go (I hope) turned power back on and the fan would run but then after about ten seconds it so unded like it would switch off
and then start back up, then switch off, and then start back up, kept repeating the pattern. Should clarify, it would run ten seconds then switch off and start immediat ely back up, then ten more seconds later would do the same thing P philo 6 years ago
The capacitor needs to be the same value as the original.
ctor and capacitor needed to be replaced. He wanted to charge me $500 to d o both so decided to try it myself.

However, the AC unit was using a single capacitor with a start capacitor and I switched to a dua l capacitor. Figured out where the wires were supposed to go (I hope) turn ed power back on and the fan would run but then after about ten seconds it sounded like it would switch off and then start back up, then switch off, a nd then start back up, kept repeating the pattern. They are exactly the same. Double checked it after the fan acted the way it did.
Then the guy must have mis-diagnosed things.
I didn't have the problem before. He said the capacitor and the contactor were about to go out and recommended replacing them.
Disregard...I let it run a bit longer and it started to run normal again. Seems fine now.
. Double checked it after the fan acted the way it did. Glad it's working but I am sure the guy was a rip off.
Last year my heat pump went out in the summer. Called the repair man
and was told it would be about $ 90 to come out. He said it was the capacitor. I thought it might be $ 50, but his company has a fixed rate of about $ 350 to replace one.
- Did he have
his finger on the trigger while he pointed that toilet at your head, and reached for your wallet?
If the price seems a bit high but the work is done right , it is not a rip off.
No but I assume some people fall for it, the outfit has been in business for years
Two grand sounds a bit extreme, for a toilet. Even installed. Did it at least have ATR? formatting link . .

Can I use two capacitors instead of one?Much like resistors, multiple capacitors can be combined in series or parallel to create a combined equivalent capacitance.
What is the difference between a single and dual capacitor?Single vs.
A single unit run capacitor hooks up to a single motor, and it is more commonly used in smaller HVAC systems, like small air conditioners. A dual run capacitor incorporates two capacitors into a single unit. With a dual run capacitor, you can power two electric motors.
Can you double up capacitors?Combine capacitors in parallel
So connecting two identical capacitors in parallel essentially doubles the size of the plates, which effectively doubles the capacitance.
