Dual Run Capacitor
The dual run capacitor provides the necessary phase-shifted current to the compressor's start windings. In this specific failure mode, the 'Fan' terminal is functioning while the 'Herm' terminal has likely suffered a dielectric failure or internal open circuit. This prevents the compressor motor from generating the magnetic torque required to rotate, often resulting in an audible 'hum' followed by a thermal trip.

Single Pole Contactor
The contactor acts as the heavy-duty relay that passes line voltage to the compressor. While the fan is running, the contactor points for the compressor circuit may be excessively pitted or oxidized (carbon tracking), creating high electrical resistance. This resistance drops the voltage delivered to the compressor below the threshold required to engage the motor under load.

Hard Start Kit (Potential Relay & Start Capacitor)
As compressors age or face high head pressure, they may require significantly more starting torque than the run capacitor can provide. A hard start kit utilizes a potential relay to temporarily add a high-microfarad start capacitor to the circuit for a few milliseconds during startup. This overcomes mechanical friction or refrigerant back-pressure that prevents the compressor from reaching operating speed.
