What MFD capacitor do I need for my Goodman AC?

The correct replacement for Goodman model GSC130601CA — CAP050600440RTS is this exact part. It is the factory-specified replacement with exact OEM specifications. Using a part with different specifications can cause equipment damage or void your warranty. You can verify this by checking the data plate on your Goodman equipment which lists the model number GSC130601CA — CAP050600440RTS.

My AC hums but will not start. What part do I need?

An AC that hums but will not start is the classic symptom of a failed capacitor. The capacitor provides the electrical boost needed to start the compressor and fan motors. When it fails, you hear the hum of the motor trying to start but it cannot overcome inertia. Other symptoms include the fan spinning slowly, the AC cycling on and off rapidly, or a visibly swollen or leaking capacitor. Replacement cost: $15 to $80 for the part, DIY in 30 minutes.

Is this capacitor compatible with Bryant or Payne systems too?

Many Goodman parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne systems since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across multiple brand labels with different model numbers. To verify cross-compatibility, check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or contact info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number for confirmation.

Goodman CAP050600440RTS 60/5 MFD 440V Dual Run Capacitor

The Goodman CAP050600440RTS is a genuine OEM 60/5 MFD, 440-volt round dual run capacitor for the Goodman GSC130601CA air conditioner condensing unit. This dual-rated capacitor provides the starting and running torque for both the compressor (60 MFD side) and the condenser fan motor (5 MFD side) from a single component. A failing capacitor is the most common cause of a unit that hums but won't start, or a fan that won't spin—making this an essential repair part.

Specifications

Voltage Rating: 440V (compatible with 370V applications)
Type: Round dual run capacitor
OEM Part Number: CAP050600440RTS
Compatible Model: GSC130601CA

Brand: Goodman

OEM vs. Generic

This genuine OEM capacitor meets Goodman's exact MFD, voltage, and tolerance specifications for reliable, long-life performance. Quality generic 60/5 MFD 440V capacitors will physically fit and function, but may carry shorter warranties and looser tolerances. Always match both MFD values and use a 440V-rated unit; never downgrade voltage.

Install Difficulty

Moderate. Disconnect power and discharge the capacitor before handling—stored voltage can cause serious shock. Label and transfer the HERM, FAN, and C terminal wires exactly. A 15–20 minute job for those comfortable with high-voltage components; otherwise call a professional.

My AC hums but won’t start. What part do I need?

An AC that hums but won’t start is the classic symptom of a failed capacitor. The capacitor provides the electrical boost to start the compressor. When it fails, you hear humming but the motor can’t overcome inertia. Other symptoms: fan spinning slowly, AC cycling on/off rapidly, or a visibly swollen capacitor. Fix: replace capacitor ($15–$80 DIY, 30 min).

Is this capacitor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

Many Goodman parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Goodman capacitor?

OEM strongly recommended. OEM capacitors have ±6% MFD tolerance vs aftermarket ±10%. The looser tolerance causes motor winding stress, higher temps, and shorter compressor life. Price difference is only $10–$20 — OEM is the clear value choice.
