XPARTCO MCK69074904 Microwave Waveguide Cover / Insulator
The XPARTCO MCK69074904 is an aftermarket replacement waveguide cover, also known as an insulator cover or mica plate, for LG microwaves and select Bosch models. This cover protects the opening where microwave energy enters the cooking cavity from the magnetron. By covering that opening, it ensures microwaves are distributed evenly throughout the cavity while also preventing food particles, grease, and moisture from reaching and damaging the internal waveguide components.
Made of mica, a material that's essentially invisible to microwave energy, this cover measures approximately 4.88" x 4.94" (126mm x 124mm including tabs) and includes a locking button/pin tab for secure mounting. Over time, splattering food and moisture exposure can cause the mica to degrade, warp, or become contaminated, and old, damp, or contaminated mica can react to microwave energy by arcing. If this cover becomes damaged, you'll typically notice sparks or arcing inside the microwave during use, along with possible uneven heating as microwave distribution is no longer properly controlled. It directly replaces MCK69074904, MCK69074902, 4957254, AP6888006, EAP12725272, ALG55468, PD00056750, PS12725272.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Microwave Before Starting — Be Aware Of The High-Voltage Capacitor Inside Unplug the microwave from the wall outlet and move it away from the wall to give yourself room to work. Wear work gloves. Carefully remove the microwave's exterior cover, taking care not to tear or damage the clips that secure it in place, and set it aside. Microwave ovens contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous electrical charge even after the unit is unplugged — avoid touching internal components near the capacitor and magnetron while working inside the cabinet. Locate the old waveguide cover inside the cavity, typically secured by a locking tab or small screws depending on your model. Remove the old cover, taking care not to damage the surrounding cavity surface. Install the new MCK69074904 in the same position, making sure it seats flush and the locking tab engages securely. Reinstall the exterior cover, restore power, and run a quick test with a cup of water to confirm normal heating with no sparking or arcing. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (model-dependent), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
I see sparks inside my microwave. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is the classic and most direct symptom of a damaged waveguide cover. Old, damp, warped, or food-contaminated mica can react to microwave energy by arcing at the point where it's damaged. Replacing the cover typically resolves this sparking immediately.
Is it safe to keep using my microwave if I notice sparking?
No, it's best to stop using the microwave once you notice sparking or arcing and replace the cover as soon as possible. Continued arcing can cause more serious damage to the magnetron and other internal components, turning a simple, inexpensive repair into a much costlier one.
What is mica, and why is it used for this part?
Mica is a naturally heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant material that is essentially invisible to microwave energy, meaning it doesn't interfere with or absorb the microwaves passing through it. This makes it ideal for a cover positioned directly in the path of the microwave energy entering the cavity, since it protects the opening without disrupting how the microwave actually cooks food.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured to match the mica composition, dimensions, and mounting configuration of the original MCK69074904 waveguide cover used in compatible LG and Bosch microwaves.

XPARTCO EXPHV10 Microwave High Voltage Diode
The XPARTCO EXPHV10 is a universal aftermarket replacement high voltage diode (rectifier) compatible with most major microwave brands including GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Panasonic, Sharp, KitchenAid, and Kenmore. The high voltage diode is a critical component in the microwave's high-voltage circuit, working alongside the high-voltage capacitor and transformer to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) — providing the high-voltage DC power required by the magnetron to generate microwave energy and heat food.
When the diode fails — due to electrical surges, overheating, or normal wear — the magnetron cannot receive the correct power supply, resulting in a microwave that runs but does not heat. A failed diode may also cause the high-voltage fuse to blow repeatedly. Rated at 12,000V DC (12 kV) with a 500mA current capacity, the EXPHV10 is a universal cross-brand replacement that meets or exceeds OEM specifications across hundreds of microwave models.
⚡ HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY WARNING — READ BEFORE SERVICING Microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can store a lethal electrical charge of up to 2,100 volts even when the microwave is unplugged. Do NOT touch any internal components without first discharging the capacitor. If you are not experienced with high-voltage appliance repair, do not attempt this repair yourself — contact a qualified appliance technician. Always unplug the microwave before opening the cabinet and discharge the capacitor using a properly insulated discharge tool before handling any internal parts.

Installation Notes
⚡ DANGER — HIGH VOLTAGE — DISCHARGE CAPACITOR BEFORE SERVICING Microwaves store a lethal charge in the high-voltage capacitor even when unplugged. You must discharge the capacitor before touching any internal parts. Use a properly insulated discharge tool or resistor — never a screwdriver or bare wire. Once the capacitor is safely discharged: unplug the microwave and remove the outer cover. Locate the high voltage diode — it is connected between the high-voltage capacitor and the chassis ground. Disconnect both leads, note the orientation/polarity, remove the old diode, and install the new EXPHV10 in the same position and orientation. Reconnect leads, reassemble the cover, and test heating operation. Time required: approximately 20–25 minutes. If you are unsure about any step, contact a qualified appliance technician.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the EXPHV10 fit my microwave?
The EXPHV10 is a universal replacement diode compatible with most GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Panasonic, Sharp, and Kenmore microwaves. Use the model search above to verify, or contact our support team before ordering.
What does the high voltage diode do?
The high voltage diode works with the capacitor and transformer to convert AC power to high-voltage DC power — typically around 4,000 to 5,000 volts. This DC voltage powers the magnetron, which generates the microwave energy that heats food. A failed diode prevents the magnetron from receiving proper power, resulting in a microwave that runs but does not heat.
How do I test if my microwave diode is bad?
After safely discharging the capacitor, use a multimeter set to the diode test mode. A good diode will show continuity in one direction and no continuity in the other (one-way electrical flow). A bad diode will show either no continuity in both directions (open) or continuity in both directions (shorted). A shorted diode will also cause the fuse to blow repeatedly.
My microwave fuse keeps blowing — is the diode the problem?
A shorted high voltage diode is one of the most common causes of a repeatedly blown microwave fuse. When the diode shorts, it draws excess current which blows the fuse. If you replace only the fuse and it blows again immediately, test the diode and capacitor as well before replacing the fuse again.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket universal replacement part built to OEM-equivalent electrical specifications. It is not a genuine OEM part from any specific brand, but is rated at 12,000V DC / 500mA — meeting or exceeding the requirements of most microwave high-voltage circuits.

(5 Pack) XPARTCO XP5KV085A Microwave High Voltage 850mA (0.85A), 5KV Fuse
The XPARTCO XP5KV085A is a pack of 5 replacement high-voltage fuses for microwave ovens, each rated 0.85 A (850 mA) at 5 kV. Each is a glass-and-metal tube fuse that sits in the microwave's high-voltage circuit and protects it against overcurrent, so a fault such as a shorted diode or capacitor opens the fuse before it damages other components. When this fuse blows, the microwave typically stops heating or shuts down, although the lights, display, and fan can still work.
These are universal-style fuses sold by rating, not by brand, so they fit any microwave that calls for a 0.85 A, 5 kV high-voltage fuse. The 5-pack covers the repair and leaves spares for the next one. A blown fuse is usually a symptom of another failed part, so the cause should be found and fixed as part of the repair. Replacement should be done by a qualified service technician.
Quick Answer
The (5 Pack) XPARTCO XP5KV085A High Voltage Fuse is a pack of five 0.85 A, 5 kV high-voltage fuses for microwave ovens whose original fuse has blown, so the microwave won't heat. Match the rating printed on your old fuse before ordering. Classic symptom: the microwave powers on, the light and turntable work, but it does not heat food.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Microwave runs but does not heat
Microwave appears dead or shuts down when started, with a blown high-voltage fuse
High-voltage fuse open or blackened after a component failure
Keeping a rated spare on hand for technician repairs
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.
Replaces Part Numbers
These fuses are sold under the following part number and rating:
XP5KV085A, 5KV 0.85A
This is a rating-based universal fuse, so there is no single manufacturer part number. Match your oven's fuse by the 0.85 A (850 mA), 5 kV rating marked on the old fuse or listed in your service manual.
Compatibility
These fuses are for microwave ovens that use a:
0.85 A (850 mA), 5 kV high-voltage fuse
Note: Microwaves use different fuses, and the rating must match. Some use 0.65 A, 0.7 A, 0.75 A, 0.8 A, 0.9 A, or other high-voltage ratings, and a separate low-voltage line fuse near the power cord (for example, 125 V, 20 A) is a different part. Check the rating on your old fuse or in your service manual. Contact our support team with your model number and we'll help verify before you order.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger: Lethal Charge — Qualified Technician Installation Only
A microwave's high-voltage capacitor can hold a lethal electrical charge even after the microwave is unplugged. Replacing a high-voltage fuse should be done by a qualified service technician who knows how to safely discharge and test the high-voltage circuit. Do not open the microwave cabinet unless you are trained to do so. Unplugging the microwave does not make this circuit safe. A technician will normally unplug the unit, discharge the capacitor, and test the old fuse for continuity. Because a blown fuse is usually the result of another failed part, such as the diode, capacitor, or transformer, the cause should be found and corrected before the new fuse is fitted, or it will likely blow again. Fit the new fuse in the same holder, confirm the rating matches, keep the remaining fuses as spares, and make sure all covers are back in place before powering the microwave.
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave runs but won't heat. Is this the part I need?
A blown high-voltage fuse is one possible cause, along with a failed diode, capacitor, magnetron, or transformer. A technician can test the fuse for continuity. If it has none, replace it, and find out why it blew.
How do I know if I need a 0.9 A fuse?
Check the rating printed on your old fuse or listed in your oven's service manual. The rating must match. Other microwaves use different ratings, so contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.
Is this the same as a microwave line fuse near the power cord?
No. A low-voltage line fuse, such as a 125 V, 20 A one, is a different part. This is a high-voltage fuse rated 0.85 A at 5 kV.
How many fuses come in this order?
Each order includes 5 fuses.
Can I install this myself?
We recommend installation by a qualified technician only. The high-voltage circuit can hold a lethal charge even when the microwave is unplugged.

XPARTCO XPDC35X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor (35/5 MFD, 450V, Round)
The XPARTCO XPDC35X5-450R is a universal dual run capacitor for central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units. A run capacitor works alongside a single-phase AC motor to keep it running efficiently once it's started, boosting torque and correcting the phase of the current feeding the motor's windings. This is a dual capacitor, meaning it combines two separate capacitors — one for the compressor, one for the condenser fan motor — into a single three-terminal can, which is why nearly every residential outdoor AC unit uses exactly this style of component to run both motors from one part.
Rated 35 MFD for the compressor circuit and 5 MFD for the fan motor circuit, at 450VAC, in a round aluminum can housing. Because a capacitor's voltage rating is a ceiling rather than a fixed match, this 450V-rated capacitor can safely replace an original capacitor rated 370V or 440V — going higher on voltage is always safe, going lower is not. Over time, the dielectric material inside a run capacitor breaks down from heat cycling and electrical stress, causing it to lose capacitance or fail outright. A failing dual capacitor produces a very recognizable set of symptoms: the outdoor unit hums but the compressor or fan won't start, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push to get going, the system trips the breaker, or the capacitor can itself is visibly bulging, domed, or leaking oily residue at the top.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XPDC35X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor fixes central air conditioners and heat pumps where the outdoor unit hums but won't start, the compressor or fan motor won't run, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push, the breaker trips, or the capacitor can is visibly bulged or leaking. 35 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan) dual capacitor, 450VAC, round, 3-terminal. Universal fit for equipment originally speced at 370V or 440V, since a higher voltage rating is always a safe upgrade. Capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge even after power is disconnected — always discharge before handling.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Outdoor AC unit hums but the compressor won't start
Condenser fan won't spin, or spins slowly and needs a manual push to get going
System trips the breaker shortly after starting
AC blows warm air because the compressor isn't running
Repeated clicking sound from the contactor as it tries and fails to start the motor
Capacitor can visibly bulging, domed on top, or leaking oily residue
System that used to start slowly and has now stopped starting altogether
Burning smell from the outdoor unit's electrical compartment

XPDC35X5-450R
This is a universal component rather than a single-manufacturer part, so the specific OEM number your HVAC system's label references will vary by brand (Goodman, Trane, Carrier, Rheem, York, Lennox, Amana, and others). This capacitor is a correct replacement for any dual run capacitor matching the 35 MFD / 5 MFD rating with a voltage rating of 450V or lower. If you have your original part number, contact our support team and we will verify compatibility before you order.
Compatibility
This dual run capacitor is a universal replacement compatible with central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units across all major HVAC brands, wherever the original capacitor is rated:
35 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan motor)
370V, 440V, or 450V (this capacitor's 450V rating exceeds and safely replaces either lower rating)
Round can shape with 3 terminals
Note: The MFD (microfarad) rating must match your original capacitor exactly on both sides — do not substitute a different MFD value for either the compressor or fan side. Voltage rating, on the other hand, can be equal to or higher than the original (450V safely replaces 370V or 440V), but never lower. Can shape (round vs. oval) affects only physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment, not performance. If you're unsure of your original capacitor's specifications, they're printed directly on its can — contact our support team if you'd like help confirming compatibility.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Capacitors Store A Dangerous Electrical Charge Shut off power to the outdoor unit at the disconnect box and at the breaker before beginning. A capacitor stores an electrical charge even after power has been disconnected, and that charge can deliver a serious or fatal shock. Before touching any terminal, discharge the capacitor by shorting each pair of terminals together (C-to-Fan, C-to-Herm, and Fan-to-Herm) using an insulated-handle screwdriver, or by using a proper capacitor discharge tool with a resistor. Never short the terminals with a bare metal tool held with your bare hand. If you are not fully comfortable performing a capacitor discharge safely, have a qualified HVAC technician replace this part instead.
⚠️ Photograph The Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match Terminals Exactly Wear work gloves and safety glasses. After confirming the capacitor is fully discharged, photograph the wiring on the old capacitor's terminals before disconnecting anything — dual capacitors are labeled C (Common), Herm or Comp (compressor/hermetic), and Fan, and getting a wire on the wrong terminal can damage the new capacitor or the motor it feeds. Note which terminal each wire came from, or label them individually with tape. Remove the mounting strap or bracket holding the old capacitor in its housing, and disconnect each wire from its terminal. Install the new XPDC35X5-450R in the same mounting position, secure it with the strap or bracket, and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal (C, Herm, and Fan) exactly as labeled. Double-check every connection before restoring power. Restore power at the breaker and disconnect box, and confirm the compressor and fan both start promptly and run smoothly. Tools needed: insulated-handle screwdriver or capacitor discharge tool, nut driver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My AC unit hums but won't start. Is this the capacitor?
It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. A run capacitor gives the compressor or fan motor the extra push needed to start turning; without it, the motor can draw power and hum in place without ever actually starting to spin. If you can see the capacitor can and it looks bulged, domed on top, or is leaking a brown oily residue, that's strong visual confirmation of failure.
Can I use a 450V capacitor to replace my old 370V or 440V one?
Yes. Voltage rating is a ceiling, not an exact match requirement — a capacitor rated for a higher voltage than your original will work safely and often lasts longer under the same electrical stress. What you cannot do is go the other direction: never install a capacitor with a lower voltage rating than your original, since that risks premature failure or the capacitor breaking down under normal operating conditions.
Does the round vs. oval shape matter?
Only for physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment — it has no effect on electrical performance. If your unit's mounting bracket or available space is sized for a round can, use a round capacitor; if it's sized for an oval can, use an oval one. The MFD and voltage ratings are what matter electrically, not the shape.
The fan spins if I give it a push, but won't start on its own. What does that mean?
This is a classic sign of a weak or failing capacitor — it may still have enough charge to keep the motor running once it's already spinning, but not enough to provide the initial starting torque. This is a strong signal to replace the capacitor before it fails completely and leaves you with no cooling at all.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is a universal replacement part rather than a brand-specific OEM part. Because dual run capacitors are a standardized component defined by their electrical specifications rather than their manufacturer, this capacitor is a correct replacement for any unit's original capacitor that shares the same 35/5 MFD, 450VAC, round dual run capacitor rating — regardless of which HVAC brand originally installed it.

XPARTCO XPDC45X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor (45/5 MFD, 450V, Round)
The XPARTCO XPDC45X5-450R is a universal dual run capacitor for central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units. A run capacitor works alongside a single-phase AC motor to keep it running efficiently once it's started, boosting torque and correcting the phase of the current feeding the motor's windings. This is a dual capacitor, meaning it combines two separate capacitors — one for the compressor, one for the condenser fan motor — into a single three-terminal can, which is why nearly every residential outdoor AC unit uses exactly this style of component to run both motors from one part.
Rated 45 MFD for the compressor circuit and 5 MFD for the fan motor circuit, at 450VAC, in a round aluminum can housing. Because a capacitor's voltage rating is a ceiling rather than a fixed match, this 450V-rated capacitor can safely replace an original capacitor rated 370V or 440V — going higher on voltage is always safe, going lower is not. Over time, the dielectric material inside a run capacitor breaks down from heat cycling and electrical stress, causing it to lose capacitance or fail outright. A failing dual capacitor produces a very recognizable set of symptoms: the outdoor unit hums but the compressor or fan won't start, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push to get going, the system trips the breaker, or the capacitor can itself is visibly bulging, domed, or leaking oily residue at the top.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XPDC45X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor fixes central air conditioners and heat pumps where the outdoor unit hums but won't start, the compressor or fan motor won't run, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push, the breaker trips, or the capacitor can is visibly bulged or leaking. 45 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan) dual capacitor, 450VAC, round, 3-terminal. Universal fit for equipment originally speced at 370V or 440V, since a higher voltage rating is always a safe upgrade. Capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge even after power is disconnected — always discharge before handling.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Outdoor AC unit hums but the compressor won't start
Condenser fan won't spin, or spins slowly and needs a manual push to get going
System trips the breaker shortly after starting
AC blows warm air because the compressor isn't running
Repeated clicking sound from the contactor as it tries and fails to start the motor
Capacitor can visibly bulging, domed on top, or leaking oily residue
System that used to start slowly and has now stopped starting altogether
Burning smell from the outdoor unit's electrical compartment

XPDC45X5-450R
This is a universal component rather than a single-manufacturer part, so the specific OEM number your HVAC system's label references will vary by brand (Goodman, Trane, Carrier, Rheem, York, Lennox, Amana, and others). This capacitor is a correct replacement for any dual run capacitor matching the 45 MFD / 5 MFD rating with a voltage rating of 450V or lower. If you have your original part number, contact our support team and we will verify compatibility before you order.
Compatibility
This dual run capacitor is a universal replacement compatible with central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units across all major HVAC brands, wherever the original capacitor is rated:
45 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan motor)
370V, 440V, or 450V (this capacitor's 450V rating exceeds and safely replaces either lower rating)
Round can shape with 3 terminals
Note: The MFD (microfarad) rating must match your original capacitor exactly on both sides — do not substitute a different MFD value for either the compressor or fan side. Voltage rating, on the other hand, can be equal to or higher than the original (450V safely replaces 370V or 440V), but never lower. Can shape (round vs. oval) affects only physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment, not performance. If you're unsure of your original capacitor's specifications, they're printed directly on its can — contact our support team if you'd like help confirming compatibility.
Key Features
Universal dual run capacitor — supports both the compressor and condenser fan motor from one component

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Capacitors Store A Dangerous Electrical Charge Shut off power to the outdoor unit at the disconnect box and at the breaker before beginning. A capacitor stores an electrical charge even after power has been disconnected, and that charge can deliver a serious or fatal shock. Before touching any terminal, discharge the capacitor by shorting each pair of terminals together (C-to-Fan, C-to-Herm, and Fan-to-Herm) using an insulated-handle screwdriver, or by using a proper capacitor discharge tool with a resistor. Never short the terminals with a bare metal tool held with your bare hand. If you are not fully comfortable performing a capacitor discharge safely, have a qualified HVAC technician replace this part instead.
⚠️ Photograph The Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match Terminals Exactly Wear work gloves and safety glasses. After confirming the capacitor is fully discharged, photograph the wiring on the old capacitor's terminals before disconnecting anything — dual capacitors are labeled C (Common), Herm or Comp (compressor/hermetic), and Fan, and getting a wire on the wrong terminal can damage the new capacitor or the motor it feeds. Note which terminal each wire came from, or label them individually with tape. Remove the mounting strap or bracket holding the old capacitor in its housing, and disconnect each wire from its terminal. Install the new XPDC45X5-450R in the same mounting position, secure it with the strap or bracket, and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal (C, Herm, and Fan) exactly as labeled. Double-check every connection before restoring power. Restore power at the breaker and disconnect box, and confirm the compressor and fan both start promptly and run smoothly. Tools needed: insulated-handle screwdriver or capacitor discharge tool, nut driver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My AC unit hums but won't start. Is this the capacitor?
It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. A run capacitor gives the compressor or fan motor the extra push needed to start turning; without it, the motor can draw power and hum in place without ever actually starting to spin. If you can see the capacitor can and it looks bulged, domed on top, or is leaking a brown oily residue, that's strong visual confirmation of failure.
Can I use a 450V capacitor to replace my old 370V or 440V one?
Yes. Voltage rating is a ceiling, not an exact match requirement — a capacitor rated for a higher voltage than your original will work safely and often lasts longer under the same electrical stress. What you cannot do is go the other direction: never install a capacitor with a lower voltage rating than your original, since that risks premature failure or the capacitor breaking down under normal operating conditions.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Microwave And Beware Of The High Voltage Capacitor Unplug the microwave before starting and never operate it with the cabinet open. The high voltage capacitor can hold a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged. If your repair requires removing the outer cabinet, discharge the capacitor safely first, or have a qualified technician do the work.
⚠️ Photograph Switch Positions Before Removing Anything The switches are accessed at the door latch assembly. Before disconnecting anything, photograph each switch and its wiring, and move the wires one at a time so each goes back to the correct terminal. Make sure the actuator lines up with the latch and the switch clicks freely. After reassembly, test the microwave with a microwave-safe cup of water.
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave won't heat or start. Is this the part I need?
A failed door switch is a common cause, but a microwave has several switches and other parts can cause the same symptoms. Identify which switch failed and confirm it is normally open before ordering.
Is this switch normally open or normally closed?
This is a normally open (NO) switch. It is not interchangeable with normally closed switches, which do a different job in the interlock system.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement from XPARTCO, made to replace part 3405-001034. If you specifically need a genuine part, contact our support team.
Will this fit my microwave?

XPARTCO HVAC Capacitor Contractor Pack — 18-Piece Assortment Kit (Dual + Single Run)
The XPARTCO HVAC Capacitor Contractor Pack bundles the seven most commonly needed dual run capacitor ratings, plus two single run capacitor ratings, into a single 18-piece kit, so a technician can carry one box instead of restocking capacitors between jobs. Each dual run capacitor combines two capacitors into one round, three-terminal can — one rated for the compressor, one for the condenser fan motor — the standard design used across the vast majority of residential and light commercial split systems, window units, and heat pumps. The single run capacitors are 2-terminal units sized for one motor circuit, commonly used on standalone condenser fan motors, pool pumps, and other single-phase motor equipment.
The mix in this kit is weighted toward the ratings that fail most often in the field: 35/5, 40/5, and 45/5 MFD capacitors cover the majority of residential 1.5–3.5 ton systems and are included in higher quantities, while 50/5, 60/5, 70/5, and 80/5 MFD round out coverage for larger residential and light commercial compressors. All fourteen capacitors are rated 450VAC, so each one is a safe upgrade replacement regardless of whether the original equipment was speced at 370V, 440V, or 450V.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO HVAC Capacitor Contractor Pack is an 18-piece assortment covering the seven dual run capacitor ratings most commonly replaced on residential and light commercial AC systems and heat pumps, plus two single run capacitor ratings for fan motors and similar equipment: 35/5 (×2), 40/5 (×4), 45/5 (×4), 50/5 (×1), 60/5 (×1), 70/5 (×1), 80/5 (×1), single-run 5 (×2), and single-run 7.5 (×2) MFD, all rated 450VAC, round. Built for technicians who want to stock a truck once instead of reordering capacitors mid-week. Capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge even after power is disconnected — always discharge before handling.

Compatibility
This kit's capacitors are universal replacements compatible with central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units across all major HVAC brands, wherever the original capacitor's MFD rating matches one included in this kit and its voltage rating is 450V or lower (370V and 440V equipment included, since a higher voltage rating is always a safe upgrade).
Note: The MFD (microfarad) rating must match the original capacitor exactly on both the compressor and fan sides — do not substitute a different MFD value. If a job calls for a rating not included in this kit (such as a 25/5, 30/5, or 55/5), each individual dual run capacitor rating is also available separately in our HVAC capacitor line. Contact our support team if you'd like help confirming which rating a specific job needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Capacitors Store A Dangerous Electrical Charge Shut off power to the outdoor unit at the disconnect box and at the breaker before beginning any capacitor replacement. A capacitor stores an electrical charge even after power has been disconnected, and that charge can deliver a serious or fatal shock. Before touching any terminal, discharge the capacitor fully: on a dual run capacitor, short each pair of terminals together (C-to-Fan, C-to-Herm, and Fan-to-Herm); on a single run capacitor, short the two terminals together. Use an insulated-handle screwdriver, or a proper capacitor discharge tool with a resistor. Never short the terminals with a bare metal tool held with your bare hand.
⚠️ Match The Rating Before Installing — Photograph Wiring First Confirm the failed capacitor's MFD rating on both the compressor and fan sides, and select the matching piece from this kit — the rating printed on the old capacitor's can is the reference, not the equipment's tonnage. Photograph the wiring on the old capacitor's terminals before disconnecting anything; terminals are typically labeled C (Common), Herm or Comp (compressor), and Fan. Remove the mounting strap holding the old capacitor, disconnect each wire, and install the replacement from this kit in the same mounting position, reconnecting each wire to the matching terminal. Restore power and confirm the compressor and fan both start promptly and run smoothly. Tools needed: insulated-handle screwdriver or capacitor discharge tool, nut driver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are 35/5, 40/5, and 45/5 included in higher quantities than the others?
These three ratings cover the size range used on the largest share of residential split systems in the field, so they're the ratings most likely to come up repeatedly across a week of service calls. The larger ratings (50/5 through 80/5) still come up regularly but less often, which is why the kit includes one of each rather than duplicates.
What if a job needs a rating that isn't in this kit, like 25/5 or 55/5?
Every rating in this kit — both dual run and single run — is also sold individually, so you can pick up less common values as needed without buying another full kit. Contact our support team if you want help identifying which individual rating a specific job calls for.
Can I use a 450V capacitor from this kit to replace an original 370V or 440V capacitor?
Yes. Voltage rating is a ceiling, not an exact match requirement — a capacitor rated for a higher voltage than the original works safely and often lasts longer under the same electrical stress. What you can't do is go the other direction, so every capacitor in this kit being 450V means it's a safe fit anywhere the original was rated 370V, 440V, or 450V.
Does the MFD rating need to match exactly, or is there some tolerance?
Match the rating on both the compressor and fan side as closely as possible to the original — these capacitors carry a ±5% manufacturing tolerance, but that's not the same as intentionally substituting a different rated value. Always select the kit piece whose printed MFD rating matches what was on the failed capacitor.
Is this a genuine OEM kit?
This is a universal replacement kit rather than a brand-specific OEM product. Because dual run capacitors are a standardized component defined by their electrical specifications rather than their manufacturer, each capacitor in this kit is a correct replacement for any unit's original capacitor sharing the same rating — regardless of which HVAC brand originally installed it.

XPARTCO XPDC40X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor (40/5 MFD, 450V, Round)
The XPARTCO XPDC40X5-450R is a universal dual run capacitor for central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units. A run capacitor works alongside a single-phase AC motor to keep it running efficiently once it's started, boosting torque and correcting the phase of the current feeding the motor's windings. This is a dual capacitor, meaning it combines two separate capacitors — one for the compressor, one for the condenser fan motor — into a single three-terminal can, which is why nearly every residential outdoor AC unit uses exactly this style of component to run both motors from one part.
Rated 40 MFD for the compressor circuit and 5 MFD for the fan motor circuit, at 450VAC, in a round aluminum can housing. Because a capacitor's voltage rating is a ceiling rather than a fixed match, this 450V-rated capacitor can safely replace an original capacitor rated 370V or 440V — going higher on voltage is always safe, going lower is not. Over time, the dielectric material inside a run capacitor breaks down from heat cycling and electrical stress, causing it to lose capacitance or fail outright. A failing dual capacitor produces a very recognizable set of symptoms: the outdoor unit hums but the compressor or fan won't start, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push to get going, the system trips the breaker, or the capacitor can itself is visibly bulging, domed, or leaking oily residue at the top.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XPDC40X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor fixes central air conditioners and heat pumps where the outdoor unit hums but won't start, the compressor or fan motor won't run, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push, the breaker trips, or the capacitor can is visibly bulged or leaking. 40 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan) dual capacitor, 450VAC, round, 3-terminal. Universal fit for equipment originally speced at 370V or 440V, since a higher voltage rating is always a safe upgrade. Capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge even after power is disconnected — always discharge before handling.

Replaces Part Numbers
XPDC40X5-450R
This is a universal component rather than a single-manufacturer part, so the specific OEM number your HVAC system's label references will vary by brand (Goodman, Trane, Carrier, Rheem, York, Lennox, Amana, and others). This capacitor is a correct replacement for any dual run capacitor matching the 40 MFD / 5 MFD rating with a voltage rating of 450V or lower. If you have your original part number, contact our support team and we will verify compatibility before you order.
Compatibility
This dual run capacitor is a universal replacement compatible with central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units across all major HVAC brands, wherever the original capacitor is rated:
40 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan motor)
370V, 440V, or 450V (this capacitor's 450V rating exceeds and safely replaces either lower rating)
Round can shape with 3 terminals
Note: The MFD (microfarad) rating must match your original capacitor exactly on both sides — do not substitute a different MFD value for either the compressor or fan side. Voltage rating, on the other hand, can be equal to or higher than the original (450V safely replaces 370V or 440V), but never lower. Can shape (round vs. oval) affects only physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment, not performance. If you're unsure of your original capacitor's specifications, they're printed directly on its can — contact our support team if you'd like help confirming compatibility.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Capacitors Store A Dangerous Electrical Charge Shut off power to the outdoor unit at the disconnect box and at the breaker before beginning. A capacitor stores an electrical charge even after power has been disconnected, and that charge can deliver a serious or fatal shock. Before touching any terminal, discharge the capacitor by shorting each pair of terminals together (C-to-Fan, C-to-Herm, and Fan-to-Herm) using an insulated-handle screwdriver, or by using a proper capacitor discharge tool with a resistor. Never short the terminals with a bare metal tool held with your bare hand. If you are not fully comfortable performing a capacitor discharge safely, have a qualified HVAC technician replace this part instead.
⚠️ Photograph The Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match Terminals Exactly Wear work gloves and safety glasses. After confirming the capacitor is fully discharged, photograph the wiring on the old capacitor's terminals before disconnecting anything — dual capacitors are labeled C (Common), Herm or Comp (compressor/hermetic), and Fan, and getting a wire on the wrong terminal can damage the new capacitor or the motor it feeds. Note which terminal each wire came from, or label them individually with tape. Remove the mounting strap or bracket holding the old capacitor in its housing, and disconnect each wire from its terminal. Install the new XPDC40X5-450R in the same mounting position, secure it with the strap or bracket, and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal (C, Herm, and Fan) exactly as labeled. Double-check every connection before restoring power. Restore power at the breaker and disconnect box, and confirm the compressor and fan both start promptly and run smoothly. Tools needed: insulated-handle screwdriver or capacitor discharge tool, nut driver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My AC unit hums but won't start. Is this the capacitor?
It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. A run capacitor gives the compressor or fan motor the extra push needed to start turning; without it, the motor can draw power and hum in place without ever actually starting to spin. If you can see the capacitor can and it looks bulged, domed on top, or is leaking a brown oily residue, that's strong visual confirmation of failure.
Can I use a 450V capacitor to replace my old 370V or 440V one?
Yes. Voltage rating is a ceiling, not an exact match requirement — a capacitor rated for a higher voltage than your original will work safely and often lasts longer under the same electrical stress. What you cannot do is go the other direction: never install a capacitor with a lower voltage rating than your original, since that risks premature failure or the capacitor breaking down under normal operating conditions.
Does the round vs. oval shape matter?
Only for physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment — it has no effect on electrical performance. If your unit's mounting bracket or available space is sized for a round can, use a round capacitor; if it's sized for an oval can, use an oval one. The MFD and voltage ratings are what matter electrically, not the shape.
The fan spins if I give it a push, but won't start on its own. What does that mean?
This is a classic sign of a weak or failing capacitor — it may still have enough charge to keep the motor running once it's already spinning, but not enough to provide the initial starting torque. This is a strong signal to replace the capacitor before it fails completely and leaves you with no cooling at all.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is a universal replacement part rather than a brand-specific OEM part. Because dual run capacitors are a standardized component defined by their electrical specifications rather than their manufacturer, this capacitor is a correct replacement for any unit's original capacitor that shares the same 40/5 MFD, 450VAC, round dual run capacitor rating — regardless of which HVAC brand originally installed it.
