This cap saved me a lot of headache at my inlaw's house. They were gone on a trip and the AC was not working properly.We live in a hot climate and their cats were inside as the temperature kept rising. Naturally, this happened on a Friday and the earliest a technician could come out was the following week. I needed to either get the cats out of the house or replace the capacitor quickly.Thankfully, I found a slightly smaller cap on another unit on the property and substituted it in. (I would not recommend this unless you really know what you are doing.)The issue was, no local store in a 25mi radius carried a 70 microfarad capacitor... I called around and drove to every store I could think of.This was ordered at night and delivered the following day. After putting all capacitors back in place, we were up and running with no threat to life! Not that it matters but I found the name pretty funny too. Thanks Bojack! Would order again.I know it has lasted at least 6 months, but I cannot say as to the longevity of the product as a whole.I did test it with a capacitance meter and it was within an acceptable tolerance. :) Technician approved.

When my central air started acting up I went out to check the unit and the fan motor was not spinning. Took a pencil and pushed one of the fan blades, and it began running and pumping cool air into the house. This told me that the capacitor had failed. The capacitor is the most common issue with central A/C units. Normally, you will be charged somewhere between $200-$300 for the part and labor. For $20 I ordered this part and replaced it in about 10 minutes. By coincidence, my A/C person was coming by the next day for a routine maintenance. Showed him the capacitor and according to him, he has used this brand and is a very good quality part. Once thing, if you are going to replace it yourself. Although, is just a few screws. You need to be aware that capacitors store electricity and need to be discharged before coming in contact with any of the 3 terminals. Failure to do so will give you a might big electrical, I would suggest watching some online videos and familiarizing yourself with the process. It is truly a very simple job, but you need to discharge the capacitor first. Again, you can spend $20 and do it yourself or pay $300 and let someone else do it for you. I purchased a spare one as the lifetime of an A?C capacitor is about 5 years.

It's easy to install, although I'm not sure it was the problem. I had to buy the other capacitor (oval run) as well, which I think was the real issue. However, this also has a fan point, which is not used for my AC unit. That said, it does what it's advertised to do, start your AC and keep it running.

If your exterior unit fan or compressor stops working, there is a very high probability it's the capacitor which died and need to be replaced (specially if looking like mine in the picture). Provided you're comfortable with electrical work, unplug your unit, order a replacement with exactly the 2 labelled cap values, e.g 7-70uF, and replug. AMZN was able to deliver it in 10 hours overnight and this model is straightforward to reconnect. AC is back on, and wife is less unhappy.

This was my first time replacing this myself. I was told it wasn't hard and it wasn't. Saved myself a lot of money ordering this part and watching YouTube. Has worked perfectly.

My AC went out this summer. It was a hot day, I was not at home but my sister said she turned on the AC starting around noon. I got back around 3 or 4 pm and she asked if it felt cool at all. It was not cool at all. I could hear the AC sound was on, I went outside to check the fan and it was on but not spinning. I looked on youtube and they said this was the easiest most basic repair to try first. I looked at the specs of my old one and I saw this one online. I got it, followed a video and replaced it! Saved myself a service call, this part was less than $20!
