Rheem-Ruud Dual Run Capacitor

The Rheem-Ruud Dual Run Capacitor is a round, OEM-style replacement motor run capacitor for residential heating and cooling equipment. A dual run capacitor (also called a dual capacitor or dual-section run capacitor) combines two capacitors in one housing. It supports both the compressor and the condenser fan motor in an air conditioner or heat pump condensing unit.

Key Features:

• Dual-section design serves the compressor and the fan motor from a single capacitor
• Round can construction with a multi-terminal layout for HERM, FAN and common connections
• Provides the phase shift that helps the motor start and run efficiently
• Replacement part from Rheem-Ruud, made to match original equipment function
• Available in multiple microfarad (MFD) and voltage ratings to match the original capacitor

A weak or failed run capacitor can cause hard starting, humming, motor overheating, or a unit that won't run. Replacing it with a capacitor of the correct rating helps restore reliable operation. Always match the MFD and voltage ratings of the original capacitor. Disconnect power and safely discharge the capacitor before installation.
