How to Replace an AC Capacitor
You can purchase a replacement at a hardware store. Then, it’s time to install:
1. Shut off the power to your air conditioning system at the breaker panel
2. Unscrew the side panel of your condenser unit to access the capacitor. 3. Locate the capacitor and discharge the power
4. Dismount the old capacitor and note how the wires are connected
5. Disconnect the wires carefully from the three capacitor connectors, labeled HERM, Fan, and C. Make a note or take a picture of which colored wires connect to which connector for later reference.
6. Install the new capacitor according to the manual
7. Screw the side panel back on the condenser unit.
