Dual Run Capacitor
The dual run capacitor is responsible for providing the phase-shifted current to the compressor's start winding. When the internal dielectric material degrades due to thermal stress, the compressor loses the torque required to overcome head pressure and static friction. This results in the fan running while the compressor remains stationary or emits a low hum.

AC Contactor
The contactor acts as the heavy-duty relay that bridges the high-voltage line to the compressor. Over time, the silver-plated contacts can pit or weld due to arcing; if the specific pole feeding the compressor fails to make a low-resistance connection while the fan pole remains functional, the compressor will fail to energize.

Compressor Hard Start Kit
On older Legacy 14 units or those with high refrigerant head pressure, the standard run capacitor may no longer provide sufficient 'kick' to move the rotor. This kit adds a dedicated start capacitor and potential relay to provide a massive instantaneous current boost to the start winding to overcome mechanical resistance.
