GEGenteq Capacitor round 40/5 uf MFD 440 volt 97F9838 (replaces old GE# Z97F9848BZ2), 40 + 5 MFD at 440 volts

It’s Memorial Day and the AC air fliw wasn’t cold. An AC tech came out to inspect and wanted to charge an outrageous $800 to replace the “energy unit” which I asked and he clarified to be the dual run capacitor. I thanked him, asked him to put everything back and declined his offer to fix. I happened to have a new spare of this dual run capacitor for my parent’s house. I opened up the back of the AC service panel, compared the non working capacitor to the new one which is identical. swapped the wires one at a time. Total time took to replace was 20 minutes and fixed the problem. Saved $800. There is a few good DYI YouTube videos on this topic.

This capacitor works great. Good price.If you’re handy with electrical things you can save big money by changing this yourself. Get the HVAC guy to diagnose the problem, if the fan-compressor capacitor is bad then find out the type from him (2 numbers like 40-5) Pay him the $150 diagnostics fee they chargethen order the correct one. YouTube it and save yourself the additional $300++. Be careful and turn off the power first!

Lovely way to fix my compressor whom didn't want to turn on. I would recommend keeping a spare on hand for when it inevitably goes out.

Works great, good as factory new.Highly recommend this OEM brand.The capacitors were both rated within spec and helped my AC perform at its best

We checked the charge when the item arrived and it was up to standards. So far it has been a great fix for my very very dead capacitor that I replaced. It was easy and clear to install, fit as it should, and I hope to see a long lifespan on it.

This capacitor seems to be well built. Looks much better than the Chinese versions. I installed it as soon as it arrived and it did the trick, nice cold A/C... It did arrive with a small dent, probably from the shipping.

Well not a whole lot to say, basically if you made it to this page, You know enough of what you are doing to know what you are and aren't looking for. My house is Dual Zoned, Upstairs/Downstairs Main floor and Basement.My upstairs unit stopped working, Fan wasn't turning, So after Googling and then Youtubing some Video links, I determined I have a Bad Capacitor, My original one was a GE 30/5 UF MFD 440 Volt - I found one on Amazon and ordered it, came in and installed it and it's working just fine. Well at the time I thought I should order two, But convinced myself the Chances of my other unit going up were on par with me winning the Lottery, since the original one was pricy at $45, I'd gamble and take my chances. Well fate stepped in and my other unit stopped running about 2 weeks later, Back to Amazon to buy another Capacitor, well guess what? OUT of STOCK , It's 90 degrees out and I have No AC in the Main part of my house, A little Research told me that I could "Step-Up" in Capacitors, thus bringing us to the GE 40/5 uf MFD 440 Volt - IMPORTANT: I'm not an HVAC Guy so what worked for me, may not for you, Do some research first, I was told not to go too high, Notice I went from a 30/5 uf to a 40/5 uf - as a Bonus the larger units were(Yes, I ordered Two this time.) cheaper by almost half of the original unit I bought.(Wish I would have known about upsizing the first time around.) Only ONE Downside to upsizing, The New units are longer and Skinnier than my original shorter fatter units, So my Bracket that holds the capacitor didn't wrap around and secure the unit until I relocated and Drilled a New Screw hole, Now it works just fine.A word of advice, unless You know what you are doing and know AC's - I Highly recommend disconnecting (1) Wire at a time and reconnecting it to the New Capacitor, There's about 5-6 wires and getting them mixed up will create problems you could never imagine, Marking the Wires would also be a Good idea. In all it literally takes 5-10 minutes to change out, Very simple, You'll need a few tools to unscrew the cover plate to the AC, in my case a 10mm socket worked, 3 screws latter I was back in the Cold Air business.Now onto the Company - This was a Third party seller on Amazon, Shipping was ultra fast (I had the package in 4 days) Units arrived in a large shipping envelope wrapped in bubble wrap, Hopefully My HVAC repair days are now behind me for a few years to come.If you are inexperienced and decide to try replacing this, Remember to shut the unit OFF at the Thermostat and to pull the Fuse out of the Disconnect Box at the AC unit itself. (Some units have a Breaker switch instead of a Fuse..DISCONNECT IT) Wait about 5-10 minutes for the Capacitor to "Discharge" and then change it out. We don't need anybody Electrocuting themselves.TJB

Replaced this in my central air conditioner .original lasted nearly 30 years until expoding .easy to replace saved at least $500.00 plus having a repairman do it
