What MFD capacitor do I need for my Goodman AC?

The correct replacement for Goodman model SSX140601AC — 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 SSX140601AC — 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, 370V capacitor built for the Goodman SSX140601AC 14 SEER condensing unit. This dual-rated capacitor provides the starting and running torque for both the compressor (70 MFD) and the condenser fan motor (5 MFD). A weak or bulging capacitor is the most common cause of an A/C that hums but won't start, or trips on overload.

Specifications

OEM Part Number: CAP050700370RTS
Capacitance: 70/5 MFD (microfarads), dual run
Voltage Rating: 370 VAC
Part Type: Round Dual Run Capacitor
Brand: Goodman
Compatible Model: SSX140601AC (5-ton, 14 SEER A/C)
Terminals: HERM / FAN / C

OEM vs. Generic

The genuine Goodman OEM capacitor matches the exact 70/5 MFD rating and terminal layout for the SSX140601AC, ensuring proper motor torque and rated life. Quality generic capacitors of identical rating can work, but cheap units often drift out of tolerance early. A 370V-rated cap may also be substituted with a 440V cap of the same MFD — but never change the microfarad values.

Installation Difficulty

Moderate (DIY with caution). A common 20–30 minute repair, but capacitors store a dangerous charge. Disconnect power and safely discharge the old capacitor before disconnecting wires. Photograph the terminal connections first. If unsure, hire a qualified technician.

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.
