XPARTCO 3949247 Washer Lid Switch Replaces 3949247V
The XPARTCO 3949247 is an aftermarket replacement lid switch assembly for Whirlpool top-load washers, and also fits select Roper, Estate, Kenmore, Inglis, Crosley, Amana, and KitchenAid models, including stacked washer/dryer laundry center units. This switch mounts to the underside of the cabinet top panel and tells the washing machine the lid is closed, allowing the wash cycle to begin.
Black plastic with wire leads, sold individually. Over time, the plastic on the switch's actuator can become brittle with age and break when the lid is closed roughly, or from the movement of an unbalanced load causing parts of the washer to strike it. Symptoms of a failing lid switch include the wash cycle not starting even when the lid is closed, error codes related to the lid being open, inability to advance through cycle selections, or the washer not spinning while still agitating normally. It directly replaces 3949247V, 3949247, 3949237, 3949239, 3949240, 3949247VP, 4248251, TJ90ES247, AP3100003, ES247, AP5983746, AWP227261, EAP350434, OEM17951247, PD00024284, PS11722098.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Unplug your washer from the wall outlet and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the screws holding the access panel in place at the back of the machine, then carefully remove the panel and set it aside. Locate the lid switch assembly near the top, center of the washer's interior. Use a Phillips and flathead screwdriver to unscrew the three screws that hold the lid switch assembly in place. Disconnect the wire harness from the old lid switch and carefully remove it from the machine. Install the new 3949247 into the machine in the exact same manner the old switch was removed. Connect the wire harness to the new switch. Reattach the three screws to secure the switch in place. Replace the access panel and reattach its screws. Turn on the water supply and plug in the washer. Run a test cycle with the lid closed to confirm the washer starts and spins normally. Tools needed: Phillips head screwdriver, flat head screwdriver.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer agitates but won't spin. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a well-documented symptom of a failed lid switch. This switch tells the washer's control system that the lid is closed before allowing certain functions, and spin specifically often requires this signal — a failed switch commonly leaves agitation working while blocking spin.
Why does this switch fail over time?
The plastic on the switch's actuator can become brittle with age and break when the lid is closed roughly. It can also break from the movement of an unbalanced load causing parts of the washer to strike it during a cycle.
Is this the same as the 3949238 switch?
No, these are separate lid switch part numbers, despite the similar numbering. Our 3949238 listing is used on different models. Always confirm your exact part number from your washer's parts diagram or the sticker on your old switch before ordering.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the material, wiring, and switching function of the original 3949247V lid switch assembly used in compatible Whirlpool, Roper, Estate, Kenmore, Inglis, Crosley, Amana, and KitchenAid washers.

Genuine OEM WPW10446920 Dryer Push-To-Start Switch
The Genuine OEM WPW10446920 is a factory-original push-to-start switch manufactured by Whirlpool for use in Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, Inglis, and other Whirlpool-built dryers that use a momentary push-button start control rather than a pull/rotary start knob. Pressing and releasing the button sends a signal to the timer or control board that begins the drying cycle; the switch itself does not stay latched, so the control electronics — not the switch — keep the dryer running after you let go.
When this switch fails, the dryer typically has power (the display and drum lights, if equipped, still work) but pressing Start does nothing, or the button feels mushy and requires several presses to register. As the genuine Whirlpool part, it ships with the exact factory-specified contacts, housing, and three-terminal wiring connector used on original production, so there's no fit or function guesswork. It directly replaces W10446920, 4446934, AP6021533, AWP51175, EAP11754857, OEM18064608, PD00038667, PS11754857. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WPW10446920 Dryer Push-To-Start Switch fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, and Inglis dryers that won't start when the Start button is pressed, even though the dryer otherwise has power. This is the factory-original Whirlpool switch — not an aftermarket equivalent — with a 3-terminal wiring connector. Replaces W10446920, 4446934, AP6021533, AWP51175, EAP11754857, OEM18064608, PD00038667, PS11754857. Classic symptom: display and lights work, but pressing Start produces no response at all.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start when the Start button is pressed
Start button feels loose, mushy, or requires multiple presses to register
Dryer has power (lights/display work) but the motor never engages
Intermittent starting — sometimes works, sometimes doesn't
Audible click from the button with no response from the dryer
Start switch visibly cracked, stuck, or not returning after being pressed
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.

Kenmore dryers (select Whirlpool-built models, including 11062332511, 11072332510)
Inglis, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Admiral dryers (select Whirlpool-built models)
Note: This switch is specific to dryers with a push-to-start button. It is not used on models with a rotary or pull-to-start knob — those use a different start switch design. Always verify your appliance model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Access the control panel — on most models this means removing a few screws along the top or rear of the console, or releasing spring clips, and tilting or lifting the panel to expose the back of the start switch. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Unplug the 3-terminal wiring connector from the old switch — note the connector orientation. Depress the retaining tabs or remove the mounting screw(s) holding the switch in the control panel and push it out from the back. Install the new WPW10446920 switch into the same opening until it snaps or seats into place. Reconnect the wiring connector, matching your photos. Reassemble the control panel and secure it with its screws or clips. Plug the dryer back in and test by pressing Start — confirm the dryer begins its cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat-blade screwdriver (for spring clips, if applicable).
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer has power but won't start when I press the button — is this the part?
This is the classic symptom of a failed push-to-start switch. If the display and any lights still work but pressing Start produces no response — not even a click or hum from the motor — the start switch is the most common cause. If you do hear a hum or click but the drum still doesn't turn, also check the thermal fuse and cycling thermostat, since a tripped thermal fuse can sometimes present with similar no-start symptoms.
Will this fit my dryer?
WPW10446920 and its cross-reference numbers fit a range of Whirlpool-built dryers across several brands, but only models with a push-to-start button — not a rotary or pull-to-start knob. Confirm fit using your dryer's exact model number before ordering, since the two start mechanisms are not interchangeable.
Is this a genuine Whirlpool part or an aftermarket equivalent?
This is the genuine, factory-original Whirlpool part — not an aftermarket equivalent. It ships with the same contacts, housing, and 3-terminal connector used in original production, so there's no guesswork on fit, feel, or electrical rating.
Do I need any special tools to install this?
No — just a Phillips screwdriver and, on some models, a putty knife or flat-blade screwdriver to release the control panel's spring clips. No soldering or wire splicing is required; the switch connects via its original 3-terminal plug.

XPARTCO DC64-00828B Dryer Door Switch
The XPARTCO DC64-00828B is an aftermarket replacement dryer door switch (also called a door jamb switch) compatible with a wide range of Samsung and Kenmore Samsung-built electric and gas dryers — including the DV2, DV3, DV4, DV5, DVE, DVG, 592, 401, and 402 series. The door switch is a small safety component mounted near the dryer door frame that detects whether the door is closed. When the door closes, the switch is activated, signaling the control board that the dryer is safe to start or continue running. If the switch fails to detect the closed door, the dryer will not start, will stop mid-cycle, or in rare unsafe failure modes, may continue running with the door open.
This switch directly replaces DC64-00828A (the prior version), 2071595, AP4578931, EAP4210965, PS4210965, PS4210964, 2071594, and PD00028436. It is constructed from durable plastic and metal in white, with dimensions of approximately 1.73"L x 1.73"W x 0.47"H. Note: while this switch looks easy to remove, the front panel actually needs to come off to access it cleanly. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC64-00828B Dryer Door Switch fixes Samsung and Kenmore Samsung-built dryers that won't start when the door is closed, stop mid-cycle, display error codes dC, dF, dE, or d0, or continue running with the door open. Approx. 1.73"L x 1.73"W x 0.47"H, white. Replaces DC64-00828A, 2071595, AP4578931, EAP4210965, PS4210965, PS4210964, 2071594, PD00028436. Compatible with Samsung DV2, DV3, DV4, DV5, DVE, DVG series and Kenmore 592/401/402-series dryers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power and turn off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Although the door switch appears easy to access from the front, on most Samsung dryer models the front panel actually needs to be removed to install the new switch cleanly. Unscrew and lift off the front panel — be careful not to drop it during reinstallation. Locate the old door switch mounted near the door frame opening. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Unplug the wire harness from the old switch, release the retaining tabs or remove the mounting screws holding the switch in place, and pull it free. Install the new DC64-00828B switch in the same position, reconnect the wire harness, and reinstall the front panel. Restore power, then close the dryer door and start a cycle to confirm the door is properly detected and the dryer runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do error codes dC, dF, dE, and d0 mean on Samsung dryers?
These door-related error codes on Samsung dryers all indicate the control board is not receiving the expected "door closed" signal from the door switch. dC and d0 commonly appear when the dryer cannot detect a closed door at the start of a cycle, while dF and dE appear when the door signal is lost during a cycle. The dryer's safety logic prevents operation under any of these conditions. Replacing a failed DC64-00828B door switch resolves these codes when the switch itself is the cause; if the codes persist after replacement, check the wiring harness between the switch and the control board for damage.
My dryer is running with the door open — what should I do?
A dryer that continues to run with the door open is a serious safety concern and should be addressed immediately. This usually indicates a failed door switch that is stuck in the "closed" position electrically, even though the door is physically open. Disconnect power to the dryer right away and avoid running it until the switch has been replaced. The DC64-00828B replacement restores normal safety behavior. Until the repair is complete, do not run the dryer.
What is the difference between DC64-00828B and DC64-00828A?
These are the same door switch across successive production revisions. DC64-00828A was the original part number and DC64-00828B is the current updated version. Both are fully interchangeable — if your dryer's parts diagram shows DC64-00828A, the DC64-00828B is the correct current replacement and is covered by this listing.
My dryer suddenly stops mid-cycle even though the door is closed — could this be the switch?
Yes — a door switch with intermittent contact failure is a common cause of unexplained mid-cycle shutdowns on Samsung dryers. The switch may be working correctly when first activated but losing its signal momentarily during operation due to vibration or worn internal contacts, causing the control board to interpret a momentary "door open" condition and stop the cycle. If this is happening repeatedly without any other identifiable cause, replacing the DC64-00828B door switch is the recommended fix.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic and metal to match the dimensions, switch contacts, and function of the original DC64-00828B dryer door switch.

XPARTCO W10195039 Dishwasher Float Switch
The XPARTCO W10195039 is an aftermarket replacement float switch for Whirlpool-built dishwashers sold under the Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana and related brand names. The float switch is the safety device that shuts off the water fill valve if the water level gets too high before the timed fill cycle ends, so a failed float can mean overfilling or a dishwasher that won't fill properly.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original Whirlpool float switch, which is sold as W10195039 and WPW10195039. Float problems can look like valve or control problems, so check the float for a stuck or damaged action before replacing it.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10195039 Float Switch fixes a Whirlpool-built dishwasher that overfills, leaks from too much water, or won't fill because the float is stuck, damaged, or no longer switching. It is also listed as WPW10195039. Classic symptom: water keeps filling past the normal level, or the dishwasher won't fill and the float looks stuck or cracked.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dishwasher overfills or the water level gets too high
Water leaking from too much water in the tub
Dishwasher won't fill because the float switch is stuck or failed

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power and Shut Off the Water Unplug the dishwasher or switch off its circuit breaker, and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Follow your model's service guide to reach the float switch, and note the position of each wire connector before disconnecting it. Install the new float switch in the same position, reconnect the wires, and check that the float moves freely before closing the dishwasher. Run a cycle and check for leaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the float switch do?
It shuts off the water fill valve if the water level gets too high before the timed fill cycle ends. It is a safety device that helps prevent overflow.
My dishwasher still won't fill. Will this fix it?
Only if the float is the cause. A dishwasher that won't fill can also have a bad inlet valve, a clogged inlet screen, or a control problem. Check that the float moves freely and test the valve first.
Is W10195039 the same as WPW10195039?
Yes. W10195039 is the older Whirlpool number and WPW10195039 is its replacement. This float switch covers both.
Will this fit my dishwasher?
It is listed for many Whirlpool-built dishwashers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

XPARTCO WH12X955 Washer Lid Switch
The XPARTCO WH12X955 is an aftermarket replacement lid switch assembly compatible with GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built washer/dryer combo units (including GE spacemaker and stacked laundry models). The lid switch is a safety component mounted inside the washer lid — it detects whether the lid is open or closed and signals the control that it's safe for the machine to start, agitate, and spin. When the lid closes, the switch activates and the washer can run through its full cycle. If the lid switch fails, the washer typically won't spin or drain, may not start or agitate at all, and clothes are left sitting in water.
This is a complete lid switch assembly with an integrated wiring harness and ground wire. Dimensions: 1-1/4" H x 2-1/4" W x 16" D (the 16" depth is the wire harness that routes from the lid down into the washer cabinet). It directly replaces WH12X955, WH12X0955, AP2045786, 278666, AH270219, EA270219, PS270219, and OEM6137363. Installation involves accessing the lid itself — the switch mounts inside the lid with two screws plus a separate ground wire screw. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves — The Lid Comes Off Disconnect power at the outlet or breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp sheet metal edges. This repair requires removing the washer lid to access the switch. Open the lid, then push it toward the back of the machine to release the plastic clips at the front that hold the lid up. Slowly lift the lid at the front — you'll see the lid switch is the only thing still connecting the lid to the washer body. Confirm the power is off, then unclip the electrical connector that joins the lid switch harness to the washer's wiring (it's typically a molex-style connector). With the connector released, you can carry the lid to a workbench or flat surface to work on it comfortably. On the underside/inside of the lid, remove the two screws on the right-hand side that hold the switch in place, then remove the screw that secures the ground wire to the inside of the lid. Lift out the old switch. The new WH12X955 switch snaps into place — seat it, reinstall the two mounting screws, and reattach the ground wire with its screw. Route the new harness cable through the same path as the old one; you can gently lift the retaining clips with a flathead screwdriver to slide the new cable through. Reconnect the electrical connector, set the lid back into position, and press it down until the front plastic clips engage. Restore power and test by closing the lid and running a cycle — confirm the washer agitates, drains, and spins. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, flathead screwdriver, work gloves. (Tip: if you drop the ground wire nut inside the cabinet, a magnet on a stick makes retrieval easy.)
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't spin or drain — is the lid switch the cause?
Yes — this is the single most common and telling symptom of a failed lid switch. The lid switch is a safety interlock that prevents the drum from spinning while the lid is open. When the switch fails (cracked body, worn internal contacts, or broken wiring), the control never receives the "lid closed" signal, so it blocks the spin and drain phases as a safety measure — leaving your clothes sitting in water. On many GE washer/dryer combos, a failed lid switch will also prevent the machine from starting or agitating at all. If your washer fills but goes no further, or completes the wash but leaves clothes soaked, the lid switch is the prime suspect. You can confirm by testing the switch for continuity with a multimeter when the lever is depressed.
Why is this switch 16" long?
The 16" dimension is the length of the wiring harness, not the switch body itself. The switch mounts inside the washer lid, and its harness has to route from the lid, through the hinge area, down into the washer cabinet to reach the main wiring connector. That's why the assembly comes with a long attached cable — and it's also why this repair involves removing the lid to access everything. The switch body itself is compact at roughly 1-1/4" H x 2-1/4" W.
Does this fit my standalone GE top-load washer?
Probably not. The WH12X955 is specifically used on GE washer/dryer combo units and spacemaker/stacked laundry models. Standalone GE top-load washers use different lid switch part numbers. Because the lid switch design and mounting vary significantly across GE's washer lineup, always search by your appliance model number to confirm the correct part before ordering. If your unit is a standalone top-loader, contact our support team with your model number and we'll identify the right lid switch for it.
Do I really have to take the lid off to install this?
On most compatible models, yes — the lid switch mounts inside the lid itself, so you'll need to release the lid from the washer body to reach the two mounting screws and the ground wire screw. The good news is that the lid comes off fairly easily: push it toward the back to release the front plastic clips, then lift it slowly, unclip the electrical connector, and carry the lid to a comfortable work surface. Working on the lid off the machine is far easier than trying to reach into a cramped laundry closet. Just be sure power is disconnected before unclipping the connector.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the dimensions (1-1/4"H x 2-1/4"W x 16"D), harness and ground wire configuration, connector, mounting, and lid-detection function of the original WH12X955 lid switch used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built washer/dryer combo and spacemaker units.

5303918214 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat
The 5303918214 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM defrost thermostat kit for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators — commonly used on side-by-side and French door models equipped with an ice maker. This thermostat monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils: when the coils drop below a set temperature, it allows power to reach the defrost heater so frost can be cleared; once the coils warm back up, it cuts power to the heater again, protecting the evaporator from being overheated during that process.
The most common reasons this thermostat gets replaced are a classic pair of symptoms: the freezer stays cold while the fresh food refrigerator section runs warm, or the refrigerator simply isn't defrosting on its normal cycle. Because this thermostat sits behind the rear access panel near the ice maker on many compatible models, replacing it typically involves removing the ice maker and the back panel to reach it — a more involved repair than a thermostat mounted in an easily accessible spot. It directly replaces AP2150145, 892545, AH469522, EA469522, PS469522, and 75303918214. As a genuine OEM part, the 5303918214 is manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The 5303918214 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat fixes Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators where the freezer stays cold but the fresh food section runs warm, or the refrigerator isn't defrosting on its normal cycle. Replaces AP2150145, 892545, AH469522, EA469522, PS469522, 75303918214. This is a separate part from our 5303918202 defrost thermostat listing — the two fit different model groups and are not interchangeable. Installation on many compatible models requires removing the ice maker to access the thermostat.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Freezer stays cold but the fresh food refrigerator section runs warm
Refrigerator not defrosting on its normal cycle
Excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils
Refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly overall
Water leaking inside the refrigerator from melting ice buildup
Refrigerator running constantly as ice-caked coils reduce cooling efficiency

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet and turn off the water supply to the refrigerator before beginning. Wear work gloves. If your model has an ice maker, remove it first using a screwdriver to gain clearance for the next steps. Remove the back panel with a screwdriver to expose the defrost thermostat. Take out the existing thermostat and disconnect its wiring, labeling or photographing each connection first. Install the new 5303918214 thermostat by connecting the wires according to the wiring diagram provided with the kit, then secure the thermostat to the main housing using the small mounting screws. Reinstall the back panel, plug the refrigerator back in, turn the water supply back on, and reinstall the ice maker. Test the refrigerator over the following day to confirm both compartments are cooling evenly and the defrost cycle is running normally. Tools needed: screwdriver, wire cutters/strippers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to remove the ice maker for this repair?
On many compatible models, yes — the thermostat sits behind the rear access panel in an area that the ice maker partially blocks, so removing it first gives you the clearance needed to reach the panel and the thermostat behind it. It's an extra step compared to some simpler defrost thermostat replacements, but it's a standard part of this particular repair.
My freezer is cold but the fridge is warm. Is this the thermostat?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a failed defrost thermostat. When it fails, the defrost heater can't run correctly to clear frost from the evaporator coil, and the resulting ice buildup blocks the airflow that's supposed to carry cold air to the fresh food compartment. The freezer, sitting closer to the coil, often stays reasonably cold, while the fresh food side runs warm since it depends on that circulated air.
I replaced the thermostat but my freezer temperature is still fluctuating. What should I check next?
Replacing this thermostat resolves the issue for most customers, but if fluctuation continues, it's worth checking the other components in the same defrost circuit — the defrost timer and defrost heater — since a failure in either of those can produce similar temperature instability even with a good thermostat installed. It's also worth confirming the door seals are sealing properly, since a poor seal lets warm air in and can cause temperature swings unrelated to the defrost system.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original temperature threshold, mounting configuration, and function of the defrost thermostat originally installed in your refrigerator.

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

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.

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.
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 45/5 MFD, 450VAC, round dual run capacitor rating — regardless of which HVAC brand originally installed it.
