What MFD capacitor do I need for my Goodman AC?

The correct replacement for Goodman model SSX140601AA — CAP050700370RTS 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 SSX140601AA — CAP050700370RTS.

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.

The Goodman CAP050700370RTS Dual Run Capacitor is a genuine OEM 70/5 MFD, 370-volt capacitor for the SSX140601AA outdoor condensing unit. A dual run capacitor provides the phase shift that keeps both the compressor (70 MFD side) and the condenser fan motor (5 MFD side) running efficiently. A weak or bulged capacitor is one of the most common causes of a unit that hums but won't start, trips the breaker, or short-cycles.

Specifications

OEM Part Number: CAP050700370RTS
Capacitance: 70 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan)
Voltage Rating: 370 VAC
Type: Dual round run capacitor
Compatible Model: Goodman SSX140601AA (and matching SSX14 condensers)
Tolerance: ±6% per OEM spec

OEM vs. Generic

This OEM Goodman capacitor is matched to the exact 70/5 MFD rating and 370V the unit requires. A 440V-rated generic will work electrically, but using the wrong microfarad value stresses the motor windings and shortens compressor life. For a guaranteed-correct rating and reliable starts, the genuine part is the safe choice.

Installation Difficulty: Moderate

A common DIY-capable repair for the experienced, but capacitors store a dangerous charge. Turn off power at the disconnect, then safely discharge the capacitor across the terminals with an insulated resistor before touching it. Photograph the wiring (C / HERM / FAN terminals) before removal, transfer the leads exactly, and secure the new cap in its strap. If you are not comfortable working around stored electrical energy, hire a technician.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Goodman SSX140601AA — CAP050700370RTS?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Goodman SSX140601AA — CAP050700370RTS. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.

How do I replace the capacitor on my Goodman SSX140601AA — CAP050700370RTS?

Difficulty: Easy (20–30 min)
Step 1: Turn off power at breaker. Step 2: Open condensing unit panel. Step 3: Photograph the old capacitor wiring (Common/Herm/Fan). Step 4: Discharge old capacitor with insulated screwdriver. Step 5: Disconnect and remove old capacitor. Step 6: Mount new capacitor, reconnect wires to matching terminals. Step 7: Close panel, restore power, test. Tools: screwdriver, needle-nose pliers.

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.
