It says I need a 5mfd/370 capacitor. My current system has a 80+5 capacitor. Will I also need an 80mfd capacitor if I replace it?

No your current system has a 80+5 capacitor because that's what your current engine requires. If order this motor, you can keep your current capacitor provided you've tested it properly and it is functioning properly. There's too numbers there, 80 and 5 so long as the first number is at least 50 that requirement is met. The second number is more precise. for example you could not go with a 50+7.5 capacitor, it has to be +5. In your case of having a 80+5, 80 is well higher rated than it needs to be so your good there, and the +5 is spot on so your current capacitor will work fine (again provided your capacitor hasn't gone bad.) Hope that helps.

You only need to replace the capacitor if it's defective. 80+5 means it's dual purpose for both the condenser fan and the compressor, just plug the new motor on the same post that the old one came from.

You should always replace your capacitor when you replace your motor! When i ordered the "Fasco D7909 5.6-Inch Condenser Fan Motor, 1/4 HP, 208-230 Volts, 1075 RPM, 1 Speed, 1.8 Amps, Totally Enclosed, Reversible Rotation, Ball Bearing", I also ordered "CAPACITOR 7.5 MFD 370 VAC OVAL ONETRIP PARTS® DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR YORK COLEMAN EVCON LUXAIRE OEM PART S1-02420045700" which worked perfectly.

No, but I would replace it while I had the A/C unit open. The 80+5 is actually a dual capacitor, there is a 80mfd side and a 5mfd side (so the 80mfd side will go to the compressor motor). Over time the start capacitors will degrade that is why it's recommended to replace the capacitor with the motor. If you decide to keep the 80mfd capacitor for the compressor motor then just buy a 5mfd start capacitor for the new fan motor. Again I would replace all the old capacitors and get a new 80+5.

You have a dual run capacitor the 80 is for the compressor and the 5 is for the condenser fan motor if the capacitor is still good you can use it also for the new motor but you need someone who knows how to test it and wire it don't try it yourself .

Don't know for sure. Try googling youtube or other sources. Ours works great after replacing bad capacitors.

Dear JPena, unfortunately, I cannot answer this question. Models vary from country to country, (I live in Australia). Best you refer your question to the suppliers of the capacitors. If they say they're OK for your model then go for it, as the refitting process is relatively easy. Cheers, Alvy

I had the motor shipped to me yesterday and the capacitor was not included. What should I do?

Hi - Like you, I really like this unit. My I suggest contacting the mfg. If anyone can help it should be them. Best of luck!

Same thing happened to mine. I replaced the main capacitor on the board and it's been fine ever since. Otherwise, if you aren't capable of doing that, you'll need to replace the whole board.

Above and to the right of the display board (on the main board), look for a black capacitor (black round disk). I've had that blow twice already, and just replacing that fixes the system.

I would be checking with Westinghouse, since it looks like capacitor could be bad from their website FAQ.Just surprising the capacitor would go bad on first day use.On speed #2 and 3 it rotates very slowly ,May be 3 rotations per 3 secs.

Get the voltage and polarity right and you should be ok. Just be careful not to fry it.

It could but there are a lot of things to consider. If it will even fit is a good start and if it will is it the same voltage or higher. Also the actual capacitance is important is must be the same or greater. Some capacitors have a positive and negative and if yours does the new one needs to match. The new capacitor also needs to have the same amperage rating or higher. If you can find all of that information and it matches up you are OK to use it.

This is for systems with dual voltage only. If you have low voltage only it is going to fit but will lack the high voltage feature.

From what I remember you should be fine with this motor. I did replace capacitor at same time. Remember to give capacitor some time to charge up after turning power back on. About an hour is plenty. Very happy with motor.

You must look at the capacitor. Remove the cover plate on the bottom and look at the little rectangular device with 3 or four wires. Be sure the fan is off ! Then try to match it to the ones available on the net. The values are rated in "uf" so you can compare them. Write down the colors of the wires and the connections, a close replacement will work. Hope this helps !

I use a 3100, and it worked for the time I had it in there. I will assume it will also work for 3200 as well.

No: This particular kit does not list this capacitor value. The same company may have the capacitor that you need but I didn't find it. You may try the Panasonic pn EEU-EB2E151 on Amazon, or another supplier. Digikey is good, and most manufactures are just fine. It would be a good idea to look at the Capacitor inside your set to verify the size and mounting style. The back of my set was pretty easy to remove.

Yes, this a hard start capacitor. Not a run capacitor. If already have a hard start capacitor, you dont need a second one.

you need at least minimal x-over cap. 4uf/63v non-polarized on the + terminal so as not to overload the amp output.
