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.

The OEM Lennox 33W98 is a 35+10 MFD, 370V oval dual run capacitor engineered to provide the starting torque and steady running current for both the compressor and condenser fan motor in your Lennox outdoor unit. As a dual-rated component, it consolidates two capacitors into a single housing — the 35 MFD side supports the compressor while the 10 MFD side drives the fan motor — keeping your system running efficiently.

Common failure symptoms: A failing capacitor is one of the most frequent causes of no-cooling calls. Watch for a hard-starting or humming compressor that won't spin up, a condenser fan that hesitates or won't turn, warm air from the vents, frequent breaker trips, or a visibly bulged, leaking, or swollen capacitor top. Because capacitors degrade with heat and age, they often fail during the hottest days of the season.

Why OEM matters: Choosing the genuine Lennox 33W98 guarantees the exact microfarad rating, voltage tolerance, and terminal configuration your unit was designed around. Off-brand substitutes with loose tolerances can shorten compressor life and reduce efficiency. This factory-spec part ensures a proper fit and reliable, rated performance for your Lennox equipment.

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 Lennox 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 Lennox 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.
