Titan PRO, 1 Count (Pack of 1), No Color Packard TRCFD455 45+5MFD 440/370V Round Run Capacitor Replaces PRCFD455

My AC stopped working earlier this summer, and this capacitor was an inexpensive, direct, quick swap compared to a service call. It fit right in place of the old one, and my unit was back up and running within minutes. Ordering online was also faster than waiting for a technician in the middle of a heat wave. Happy family = 5 stars. This is a high-voltage component, so you need to know what you’re doing and take proper safety precautions. If you’re not comfortable working around electricity, it’s best to have a professional handle it. Pros: Direct replacement, easy install Saved money vs a service call Faster than scheduling a technician Unit running like normal again Cons: Requires electrical knowledge and safety precautions Bottom Line: If you’re experienced with HVAC repairs, this capacitor is a simple, cost-effective way to get your AC running again.

I have a very large home (7300sf) with dual phase Carrier AC system for the first and lower level, and a second system (heat pump) for the 2nd floor and loft level. Last summer the upper level unit stopped working. Called an AC tech who took roughly two hours to figure out what was wrong. The outside unit stopped cutting on. Finally he replaced the capacitor and $350 later the AC was working again. Fast forward 8 months later. The same thing began to happen with the unit for the first and lower level. I was standing out front and could hear a whining sound coming from the side of the house. I went to investigate. The fan on the compressor appeared as if it was stuck. I pulled the breaker and stuck a rod through the top grill to push the blade to see if the fan motor had seized up. I was able to move it and pushed it until it made a single revolution. I put the breaker back in and the unit kicked on with the fan running. 2 months later I noticed that the first floor of house was warm although the AC was running. I checked the temp of the air coming out of the register and found it to be warm. I checked the unit outside and sure enough not only was the fan not spinning, the was not running at all. Immediately I'm thinking the entire compressor is gone, which I had already thought would eventually happen but simply monitored it listening for the whining and humming sound I heard before. I contacted an AC tech that I used in the past since I knew he'd give me a far price, but for some reason the guy couldn't make it that day. But then he never came when he said he would nor did he return any of our calls. We had a friend reach out to someone who knew a guy, who knew a guy yada, yada... At this point the outside temperature was getting milder due to the amount and frequency of rain here on the east coast so there was no rush to spend upwards of $3000 to have the unit replaced. I just so happened to google the symptoms trying to determine if the entire unit needed to be replaced or if there was a way to replace the fan/motor assembly for less than the cost of a replacement compressor. Low and behold the very first YouTube video I came across, there's a guys describing the exact same set of symptoms, first the fan didn't turn on, he pushed it like I did and it ran for about another month, then the entire unit stopped working. He replaced the capacitor while videoing the repair and within ten minutes he had the unit running. Needless to say, I did the exact same thing and had my system running in 5. The biggest issue was finding the right one and then deciding which brand to trust. I called Carrier to try to find the OEM part number without having to open the unit up until I was ready to fix it. They refused to give it to me due to liability (such BS, my warranty is over), they obviously did not want to take business away from their dealers. I was able to get the part number from a distributor and also found out that Carrier doesn't make their own parts anyway and typically uses multiple Chinese made brands. I chose this one due to it's popularity among HVAC companies. Works like a charm.. I bought two so I'd have a spare at the ready in the event the same thing happens again.. 4 screws and less than 10 minutes of work and I saved myself $300+ on this repair. I won't know the reliability of the part until the unit is running until the temperature changes. but for now, the problem has been resolved with a $6 part ($8 with Prime Delivery). As for the guy who came to fix it the last time this happened, he obviously did not know what he was doing. Screwed up my Smart Thermostat and ended installing the old Honeywell unit thinking it was the stat that was causing the unit not to kick on. I guy I will be doing my own HVAC repairs from now on unless the unit need to be replaced or it's too hot to go into the attack (but then I'd just at night when it's cooler).

Worked as it should

Fixed my home AC with these. I needed a 370V capacitor for my central air conditioning. These capacitors are 370 and 440. Everything else matched the specifications on the capacitors I took out. Mine were 18 years old. While doing my research, I found out 2 things. 1) over time, capacitors break down and can damage the components they're wired to. They should be a scheduled change item versus waiting for them to die. I have 2 central AC units, 1 broke, and the 2nd unit had a capacitor that was leaking. Had I changed them every 5-10 years, I wouldn't have had to sleep a night without AC. 2) These 370v/440v combo units are considered more durable than a regular 370v unit. They're built to handle 440 for years, so less prone to damage from power spikes, outages, etc. I figure 5-10 years from now, I'll be replacing them again as part of my home maintenance work, versus waiting for them to die.

Fingers crossed that this will last many years. If I could know that it would last for many years, I would give 5 stars. So far it works as intended. It’s a very easy fix, and WAY cheaper than paying for an HVAC visit.

Works great, awesome price. Fixed my ac heatpump

Exactly what was ordered- tested well before installing. Hopefully won’t have to order again, but I’m sure my condenser thinks different

Took 15 minutes to remove the old one and install this one and saved me over $250 compared to what the HVAC company was planning to charge me. Worked great.

God Product, fast postage, thank you.

So the fan started slowing down and getting really hot and in the same day stopped with humming sound. The old capacitor is bulging. It is very not where I am in right now and we called a few places and nobody replied. So I got this one and arrived after 2 days. Was very miserable for 2 days. Home got to 29 degrees even at night. Received this and put in right away. Knowing the diameter is 0.5 inch bigger I had to modify the mount a bit. Old one is 40/5,370v this one is bigger and higher voltage.which is a great thing. Probably should get one more for emergencies. Fan started working right away and it's faster than when we first moved in 2 months ago. Previous owner sure sold at the right time. Anyways this one is the fastest to arrive out of most other capacitors are from USA which takes time to arrive. Doesn't seem to be able to get this locally on small city. Fingers crossed this one will last.

I just installed it and there was a noticeable improvement in how the fan started up. There was no lag and groan that I had become accustom too. The only question at this point is how long will this capacitor last. The diameter was the same as my original so it was an easy install, slightly shorter in length but it has the same specs. Shipping was quick, only two days! Just be sure you understand the risks of working with capacitors before attempting this repair.

Perfect fit and replacement for the GE Capacitor in my American Standard Heritage 14 Heat pump. It also now seems quieter startup. I would purchase again. I would have given this 5 stars, but it was shipped in a basic envelope, and the box inside had come apart and had a small dent in the Capacitor. I would suggest they ship it in a least a bubble wrapped envelope to protect it.

AC guy said ours is dying or dead (AC still worked fine) but said he would be charging me almost $300 to replace it. Told me to pick on up and install it cause it would be a lot cheaper. turn power and breaker OFF, Easy replacement take pictures of wires and pins. Online tutorials as well.
