Dual Run Capacitor
The dual run capacitor is responsible for providing the starting torque to the compressor motor. If the internal dielectric film on the 'Herm' terminal fails, the compressor cannot initiate rotation even if power is present. Because the fan and compressor use different sections of the same capacitor, it is common for the fan to continue operating while the compressor fails.

Single Pole AC Contactor
The contactor uses silver-cadmium contacts to bridge high-voltage power to the motor windings. Over time, these contacts can become pitted or 'carbonized,' creating high electrical resistance. This resistance may allow enough current for the low-draw fan motor but cause a voltage drop significant enough to prevent the high-draw compressor from starting.

Hard Start Kit (Compressor Start Relay & Capacitor)
As compressors age or operate under high head pressure, the mechanical friction within the scroll or reciprocating assembly increases. A hard start kit provides an auxiliary burst of capacitance to the start winding for a fraction of a second, providing the extra mechanical force needed to reach operational RPM when a standard run capacitor is no longer sufficient.
