The dual run capacitor continuously supports both the compressor and condenser fan motor during operation, while the start capacitor delivers the high-torque surge needed to kick the compressor into motion under load. When either fails, symptoms include a loud hum with no motor movement, a compressor that trips the overload protector within seconds, or a condenser fan that spins only when manually assisted. Replacing both together is standard practice — if one has failed, the other is typically near end-of-life as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e P291-7073RS Dual Run Capacitor — round case, 370V\/440V rated, factory MFD tolerance ±3% | P281-1766 Start Capacitor — high-capacitance boost, matched to CA16NA06100GBAAA compressor specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM capacitors are manufactured to exact factory tolerances.
