GE / Genteq 27L889 97F9851 - 45 + 5 uf MFD 440 Volt VAC Genteq Replacement Round Dual Run Capacitor

My condenser went out at my house. Opened it up to find a swollen capacitor. I’m cheap so I don’t want to pay an HVAC guy. The top is well labeled so switching it out was a breeze. It looks like it is quality made and it immediately fixed my problem. Even if it only lasts a few seasons it’s very inexpensive. I ordered an extra to keep in the unit just in case.

This capacitor fixed my air conditioner quickly and inexpensively.

Works great in my 3.5-ton Goodman AC/Heat Pump. Super easy to install. I keep one as a spare, and it paid off in the heat of the Summer. The fan stopped running. I checked the capacitor on the common and fan side; it was 0.003 mfd. So a quick replacement and wallah! Worked like a champ and saved me a $300 service call.

Capacitor shipped in lighting speed and was at my door within 1 1/2 days of order. Packaged as advertised and works! My 2004 Lennox AC unit stopped working a few days ago. Given its age, i figured it was time to take it out to pasture and started planning for the inevitable replacement while visioning $$$$ disappearing from my wallet. I could hear a humming/surge type noise coming from the unit, compressor not kicking on and the fan was trying to startup but didn't have enough power to start. I was able to manually start the fan but compressor never fired up and house was not cooling. After a few YouTubes I grabbed a few tools and headed to the unit. A quick visual inspection later I saw that my old Capacitor was 'mushroomed' on the top of the canister. After playing Dr Google it began looking like my Capacitor might be bad. I figured I might as well try replacing the Capacitor before calling for a professional tech to come out. Easy to install, had it replaced and AC unit up and running again in less than 10 minutes. If you follow all safety precautions this is a very easy fix. I am still going to have an HVAC tech come out and am preparing for a replacement next year but in the meantime, my AC is back on and working.

My Trane home A/C stopped cooling recently.. I checked the condenser unit (XE 1100, from 2001), and the fan seemed to be having trouble starting, but even when it ran, there was no cooling at all. The pipe that exits to the house that's supposed to be cold was not even cool. Everything seemed to be OK to my untrained brain, although I couldn't really check the coolant. So, I gambled and ordered the capacitor, which wasn't very expensive, and was already removed for testing. The photo I added shows the original capacitor with wires, but disconnected from bracket (one screw) Replaced the capacitor, and it worked right off, smooth as silk. However, the capacitor's diameter was smaller by about 1/4 inch, and it was longer. The length was no problem, and I got some padding and a piece of bicycle tubing to go under the bracket to make it tight. That wasn't really much of a problem, and it probably would have been secure enough anyway, but I didn't want to take any chances. Note that this was an easy fix, but I have some old experience with electrical equipment, mainly electronics. But I understand electricity, and knew how to avoid getting shocked. There's 220 volts coming in, so if you aren't sure what you are doing, make sure you learn, and be careful. Use one hand at a time, and don't allow yourself to be contacting ground or the A/C chassis, and you'll probably be safe even if you accidentally touch the wrong thing. But best not to do that.

Had this for years! Hasn't failed!!

Quality product would recommend

AC went out during record high temperatures. Ordered this baby and received it the next day. Popped it in and everything started working again. Saved us a ton of money by not having to call in a service technician.

Easy install and working great

Works great, thanks.

I was scared at first as others said it was too small... But this was the perfect size and it works perfectly. Saved me hundred! Definitely will buy again!

The item worked perfectly

For an American Standard Heritage 15. Although smaller in diameter than the original, it works perfectly. Little squeeze of the bracket and all is good.
