FAQ

This round CD60 capacitor is typically used as a motor start capacitor in equipment that matches the electrical ratings: 216-259 microfarads (uF/MFD), 220-250 VAC, and 50/60 Hz. It may be used in some AC condenser units, fan motors, heat pumps, air compressors, and other single-phase motors that call for this exact start-capacitor range. Match the capacitance range, voltage rating, case style, and terminal configuration to your original part before ordering.
The 216-259 uF rating is the capacitance range the capacitor is designed to provide during motor starting. The 220-250 VAC rating is the maximum operating voltage range for the part. Both values need to match your original capacitor or the equipment manufacturer's specification. Using the wrong microfarad range can cause hard starting or motor damage, while using an under-rated voltage capacitor can lead to premature failure.
Common signs include a motor that hums but will not start, a fan or compressor that starts slowly, repeated breaker trips during startup, intermittent starting, or a swollen, leaking, or burnt capacitor. In HVAC equipment, a failed start capacitor may cause the outdoor unit to struggle to start, especially in hot weather. A capacitance meter is the best way to confirm failure.
Based on the CD60 style and the 216-259 uF rating, this is generally used as a motor start capacitor, not a standard continuous-duty run capacitor. Start capacitors usually have much higher microfarad ratings than run capacitors and are used only briefly during startup. Always verify your equipment's original part type and rating, because start and run capacitors are not interchangeable unless the system specifically calls for that design.
Before installation, disconnect power completely and safely discharge the old capacitor. Confirm the original capacitor's microfarad range, voltage rating, shape, and terminal layout. Also inspect related components that can cause repeated capacitor failure, such as a weak motor, sticking compressor, faulty potential relay, damaged wiring, overheating, or low supply voltage. If the old capacitor failed due to swelling or bursting, it is a good idea to inspect the motor circuit for the root cause rather than replacing the capacitor alone.
Replacement is usually a moderate repair if the capacitor is accessible. Typical tools include a screwdriver or nut driver, needle-nose pliers, a multimeter with capacitance function if testing, and a camera or phone to record wire positions before removal. In many units the job takes about 15-30 minutes, but safe handling is critical because capacitors can retain an electrical charge even after power is disconnected.
