It won't be a problem as long as the other specs are correct.
Actually it'll most likely give you a little more reliable and
stronger start current. The caps are in-circuit for such a short
time there is a pretty fair latitude on size as long as you go
larger and not smaller. Within reason, that is.

Coincidences aside, if you're worried about a friendship, search
down the right cap and ask your friend to install it for you.
After all, he DID get you going right away, so you can use the
thing during the interim, which is a great favor anyway g.
I mentioned "coincidence" because, human nature being what it
is, if something else goes wrong wiht the equpiment tomorrow,
you're going to most likely jump to the cap as being the
reasong.

My 9 year old goodman ac quit working over the weekend. Had a
friend
that knows a little about ac look at it. He said that the run
capacitor for the compressor was bad. The one that was in there
was
rated at 35 micro farads. He put in a 45 micro farad one and
said that
there would not be a problem. The system runs now but the
different
size capacitor has me concerned. Will this cause a problem or
not?

Thanks,
