Dual Run Capacitor
The dual-run capacitor is responsible for providing the electrical torque boost required to start the compressor. In the RA16 single-stage system, the capacitor's dielectric material degrades over time due to heat and voltage fluctuations, leading to a loss of microfarad capacitance. This prevents the compressor from engaging while the condenser fan may still rotate, resulting in air circulation without the compression of refrigerant needed for heat exchange.
