Hello all!

About eight years ago, the run cap in my outdoor A/C unit failed;
replacing it made it work fine for at least a few more years, until
I moved out of that house.

I found the dead cap while cleaning some stuff up, so I took some
pictures of it before tossing it. Maybe these will help someone
recognize a bad cap someday.

Funny you mention it. I had one fail exactly like that a couple months
ago, same size, brand and everything. Bad batch?


Me and my late friend GB did a lot of work for rural customers on their
HVAC units and the failure rate for the capacitors dropped to zero when
we started installing surge arresters directly on the outdoor condensing
units. ^_^
