The Lennox Y9643 is a genuine OEM run capacitor rated at 50 MFD and 440V in a round, made-in-USA case. It supplies the steady phase-shifted current that keeps your condenser fan motor or compressor running at peak efficiency throughout each cooling cycle. As a direct factory replacement, it meets the exact electrical specifications your Lennox system was designed around.

Common failure symptoms: When the Y9643 capacitor weakens, you may notice a motor that hums but fails to start, an outdoor fan turning sluggishly, intermittent cooling, higher energy bills, or a breaker that trips under load. A swollen or leaking capacitor top is a clear indicator that replacement is overdue.

Why OEM matters: Generic capacitors often fall outside their labeled microfarad tolerance, causing motors to overheat and fail prematurely. The OEM Lennox Y9643 delivers the exact 50 MFD capacitance, 440V rating, and durable USA-made construction Lennox specified — safeguarding your motors and keeping your equipment running to spec. In stock and ships same day before 3PM CST.

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.

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.
