C3355R Capacitor Dual Run Round 35/5 UF MFD 370V VAC 97F9834 (Replace Old GE# Z97F9834) 35 and 5 MFD at 370V

Looks like a good quality product installed immediately and worked upon activation of unit.

This weekend the pump that runs my hot tub jets stopped working....when I turned the power on, the pump just hummed but would not start. I could feel the impeller was able to turn freely, so that means the bearings were not the issue. I guessed (and later verified) that my pump had a bad start capacitor (cap). The cap on the pump was one of those mounted externally like a piggy back, so it was very easy to access and remove. I didn't need to remove the pump or even the main wiring...just two small screws on the metal cover over the cap. In the attached photo you can see the old/bad cap on the far right. This thing is marked 35uf (microfarad) and 370 volts, and as you can clearly see, it only has two terminals on top. I guess I was in a bit of a rush, and I am NOT an expert on capacitors, so I quickly ran a search on Amazon and found this item (shown in the middle of the pic) which I thought was an exact match. As it turns out, I was mistaken -- the cap on my old pump was a "single run" unit which is why it only has two terminals on top. This cap I purchased from Amazon is a "dual run" unit which means it is actually TWO capacitors in one -- one is 35uf and the other is 5uf. Just for comparison, on the left is a much larger 80uf 440 volt cap from my A/C unit (this is a spare). The idea with a dual-run cap is that rather than using two different caps, instead you can use one of these to hook up to your A/C compressor (which needs a higher capacitance rating like 35uf) and also the fan on the top of your condenser (which needs less, like 5uf). After realizing this, I thought I might have to return this mistakenly-ordered dual-run cap and get the correct single-run instead (oddly, the single-run cap was slightly more expensive than the dual-run unit). However, I discovered the dual run cap fit perfectly under the cover on my pool pump where the old cap was, so I decided to try hooking up the 35uf terminals to the pump to see if it would run. And of course, it ran PERFECTLY. As far as I can see, there is no adverse on my pump, which makes sense because this unit IS a 35uf capacitor....it just has an additional 5uf terminal that I'm not using. So bottom line -- it was totally my fault to order the wrong cap, but this actually worked to my advantage since this fits my pump and is actually cheaper than the "correct" cap. Seems like a win/win to me!

Working perfect , I save 1000$

Fixed my A/C right up! Second time buying this capacitor - was Genteq before before. It lasted a little over 5 years. (Hopefully, this capcom replacement will last a bit longer.) Not going to make the same mistake and will pick up a spare to have on hand .... needed to wait 2 days for this one to arrive and trying to sleep in 85 degrees is no fun! lol

Worked fine, but only lasted about 5 years. This is about half the price of anything I was able to find locally, so it's an inexpensive fix. However, I had to replace it again after just 5 years, which is on the very low end of "acceptable" life spans for an HVAC capacitor. That said, a $15 capacitor that lasts 5 years is better than a $35 capacitor that lasts 10 I suppose. It connects easily and works fine, just be aware it may not last all that long and maybe order two so you have a backup on hand.

These capacitors are the usual suspects when the a/c goes out. I keep spares on hand so I don't have to pay the big bucks for the repair guy to do it. By the way i am female . It is easy peasy to change!! Lots of youtube videos how to do it safely. They last several years.

Exactly what we needed to replace our old one. Works perfectly.

Life saver! This is the first part to fail on an AC unit (usually). In our case it was. Easy to swap out but **MAKE SURE YOU DISCHARGE THE POWER SAFELY FROM THE UNIT BEFORE YOU UNHOOK IT** (use an insulated screwdriver to touch each pole to the AC unit metal itself) You will want to make sure you also put all 4 connectors in the correct spot (see markings). There are many youtube videos on how to replace these. I have a spare one of these now too just incase it decides to fail later down the road.

I purchased this capacitor as an in-place replacement for the old GE part #97F9834 and it was a breeze to install. The geometry is exactly right and it works as expected. The shipping time was longer as it ships from the US but the price and the quality (I hope) were worth the wait. For such a price I am willing to keep another capacitor on the shelf just in case of an urgent need.

Arrived right in time. Easy to replace and my AC is running like new again. Definitely DIY and save lots of money. So easy to replace. 100% highly recommend it!

Our AC went and for about 2 weeks I tried looking for this part in the closest cities. Every hvac guy said they’d have to install so my husband and I watched a lot of YouTube videos and came down to the conclusion it was this part we needed to replace. Took my husband 5 mins to hook it up and boom our ac works. Just in time for the 37 degree heat wave that was forecasted for that weekend!

I avoided an expensive service call and repair by easily diagnosing the problem in my A/C unit - then ordering this replacement capacitor. It worked perfectly. It was very quick to ship and was very well priced. Yes, I had no A/C for a few days but probably saved $200 - $300 . I recommend this product.

Très bon produit, installé le 2021-01-15. Thermopompe fonctionne bien.
