What MFD capacitor do I need for my Lennox AC?

The correct replacement for Lennox model OEM Lennox Dual Run Capacitor 75+7.5 MFD 440V — 91W13 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 Lennox equipment which lists the model number OEM Lennox Dual Run Capacitor 75+7.5 MFD 440V — 91W13.

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 Lennox 91W13 is a genuine OEM dual run capacitor rated at 75+7.5 MFD, 440V, in a round can design. It provides the phase-shifted electrical charge that both your compressor (the 75 MFD terminal) and condenser fan motor (the 7.5 MFD terminal) need to start and run smoothly. A single dual capacitor keeps both motors operating at their rated efficiency, making it one of the most critical components in your Lennox outdoor unit.

Common failure symptoms: A failing 91W13 capacitor often shows up as a compressor or fan that hums but won't start, a fan that spins slowly or only starts when pushed by hand, hard starting, tripped breakers, or a visibly bulging or leaking capacitor top. Because capacitors weaken over time from heat and load cycling, they are one of the most frequent HVAC failure points.

Why OEM matters: Lennox condensing units are engineered around specific microfarad and voltage ratings. Using the genuine OEM 91W13 ensures the exact capacitance tolerance and 440V rating your system was designed for, protecting your compressor and fan motor from premature wear caused by out-of-spec substitutes. Direct factory fit means proper mounting, correct terminals, and reliable, rated performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Lennox OEM Lennox Dual Run Capacitor 75+7.5 MFD 440V — 91W13?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Lennox OEM Lennox Dual Run Capacitor 75+7.5 MFD 440V — 91W13. 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 Lennox OEM Lennox Dual Run Capacitor 75+7.5 MFD 440V — 91W13?

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 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.

How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
