What MFD capacitor do I need for my Goodman AC?

The correct replacement for Goodman model WGPH4560AMAB — CAP050800440RTS 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 WGPH4560AMAB — CAP050800440RTS.

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 CAP050800440RTS Dual Run Capacitor

The Goodman CAP050800440RTS is a genuine OEM 80/5 MFD dual run capacitor engineered for the Goodman WGPH4560AMAB packaged air conditioner and other compatible Goodman/Amana condensing units. This dual-rated round can simultaneously supports both the compressor (80 MFD) and the condenser fan motor (5 MFD), giving each motor the phase-shift it needs to start and run efficiently. A weak or bulging capacitor is one of the most common causes of a unit that hums but won't start, trips the breaker, or short-cycles on hot days.

Specifications

Capacitance: 80/5 MFD (microfarads), dual rated
Voltage: 440V (compatible with 370V applications)
Tolerance: ±6%
Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Shape: Round can with quick-connect terminals
Application: Compressor + condenser fan motor

OEM vs. Generic

Our OEM CAP050800440RTS is the factory-specified part, guaranteeing exact capacitance values, terminal layout, and the 440V rating Goodman engineered for this platform. Generic equivalents may use lower-grade dielectric film and run hotter, shortening service life. For mission-critical cooling we recommend the OEM unit; budget-conscious DIYers can opt for a verified aftermarket equivalent.

Installation Difficulty: Easy to Moderate

A capacitor swap takes most homeowners 15–20 minutes with a screwdriver and nut driver. WARNING: always cut power at the disconnect and safely discharge the old capacitor across the terminals before touching it — stored voltage can deliver a dangerous shock. Photograph the wiring before removing leads. If you are not comfortable working near line voltage, hire a licensed HVAC technician.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Goodman WGPH4560AMAB — CAP050800440RTS?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Goodman WGPH4560AMAB — CAP050800440RTS. 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 WGPH4560AMAB — CAP050800440RTS?

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.

How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
