Dual Run Capacitor (45/5 MFD, 440V)
The capacitor stores energy to provide a secondary phase of current to the compressor's start windings. Over time, the dielectric material degrades due to thermal stress, preventing the compressor from reaching the necessary torque to break its locked-rotor state. When this occurs, the condenser fan may still spin, but the compressor remains idle, resulting in no refrigerant compression or cooling.

Definite Purpose Contactor (Single Pole, 24V Coil)
This electromechanical switch completes the high-voltage circuit to the compressor when the thermostat calls for cooling. Arcing during engagement causes silver-plating erosion and carbon buildup (pitting) on the contact surfaces. This creates high electrical resistance or a complete open circuit, allowing the fan to run while the high-draw compressor receives insufficient voltage to operate.

Hard Start Kit (Potential Relay and Start Capacitor)
As compressors age or operate in high-ambient conditions, they may struggle to overcome mechanical friction or high head pressure during startup. This kit provides a temporary boost in starting torque by adding high capacitance into the circuit for a fraction of a second. This resolves failures where the compressor hums and trips the internal thermal overload but otherwise functions once reaching running speed.
