Dual Run Capacitor
The capacitor provides the necessary phase-shift for the compressor and fan motor windings. Over time, the dielectric material degrades, reducing capacitance and causing the compressor to draw excessive current. This resulting heat triggers the internal 'line break' thermal protector, which shuts the motor down to prevent a catastrophic winding melt-down.

Definite Purpose Contactor
The contactor is a high-current relay that bridges line voltage to the compressor. Repeated arcing during startup causes carbon buildup and pitting on the contact surfaces, increasing electrical resistance. Under high load, this resistance causes a voltage drop that can result in the compressor stalling or the contactor coil losing its magnetic hold, breaking the circuit.

Condenser Fan Motor
If the fan motor fails to reach its rated RPM or seizes, the unit cannot reject heat from the refrigerant gas. This leads to a rapid spike in head pressure within the condenser coils. The High Pressure Switch (HPS) detects this breach of safe operating limits (typically above 600 PSI for R-410A) and opens the 24V control circuit to shut the system down.
