XPARTCO XPDC50X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor (50/5 MFD, 450V, Round)
The XPARTCO XPDC50X5-450R 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 50 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 XPDC50X5-450R 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. 50 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

XPDC50X5-450R
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 50 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:
50 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
50 MFD compressor rating + 5 MFD fan motor rating in a single 3-terminal can
450VAC rating — a safe upgrade replacement for equipment originally speced at 370V or 440V
Round aluminum can construction
Resolves "hums but won't start," "fan spins slowly," "trips the breaker," and "bulging or leaking can" symptoms caused by capacitor failure

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 XPDC50X5-450R 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 50/5 MFD, 450VAC, round dual run capacitor rating — regardless of which HVAC brand originally installed it.

1408 Gas Furnace Hot Surface Igniter
The 1408 is a replacement 120V silicon carbide hot surface igniter for gas furnaces. When the furnace calls for heat, the igniter glows white hot and lights the gas burners. Over time the element can crack or wear out, and a failed igniter is a common reason a gas furnace tries to start but never lights or never heats.
This igniter replaces the Robertshaw 41-408 and the Rheem 62-22868-93. It is a furnace igniter, not an oven igniter, so check the part number and the look of your old igniter before ordering.
Quick Answer
The 1408 Gas Furnace Igniter replaces a cracked, burned-out, or failed hot surface igniter on a gas furnace that tries to start but won't light. Replaces 41-408 and 62-22868-93. Classic symptom: the inducer runs, but the igniter never glows and the burners never light.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Furnace won't light, with no heat
Igniter does not glow when the furnace calls for heat
Cracked, broken, or visibly damaged igniter element
Furnace cycles through ignition attempts and then locks out

Installation Notes
⚠️ Turn Off Power and Gas Before Installing Switch off power to the furnace at the breaker and the furnace switch, and shut off the gas supply, before beginning. Wear work gloves. Let the old igniter cool, disconnect its lead, remove it, and fit the new igniter in the same position. Handle the new igniter only by its ceramic base, and avoid touching the silicon element, since skin oils can cause early failure. If the furnace still does not light, check the control board and the gas valve.
Frequently Asked Questions
My furnace won't light. Is this the part I need?
A cracked or burned-out igniter is a common cause. If the igniter doesn't glow when the furnace calls for heat, or the element is visibly cracked, it is likely the problem. If the igniter glows but the burners don't light, check the gas valve and control.
Does this replace the Robertshaw 41-408 and the Rheem 62-22868-93?
Yes, it is listed as a replacement for both. Because retailers do not list lead length or connector style, compare your old igniter to this one, or contact our support team, before ordering.
Why shouldn't I touch the igniter element?
Skin oils on the silicon element can cause the igniter to fail early. Handle it by the ceramic base only.
Will this fit my furnace?
It is used on gas furnaces that call for a 41-408 or 62-22868-93 igniter, but the series list above is only a sample. Check your furnace's parts list, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting (Shut Off Gas First on Gas Models) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning (and shut off the gas supply first if you have a gas dryer model). Wear work gloves — there are sharp metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter housing screws, release the top panel locking clips with a putty knife, and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum, drive belt, and tensioner pulley assembly. Locate the belt safety switch in this area — refer to your model's parts diagram to confirm its exact mounting position, as it is positioned near the belt and tensioner pulley support. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires from the old switch, remove the mounting screw or clip, and pull the switch free. Install the new 17438000001584 switch in the same position, secure the mounting hardware, and reconnect the wires. While this area is open, it's a good time to inspect the drive belt and tensioner pulley for wear, since this switch is related to belt operation. Reassemble the front panel and top panel in reverse order. Restore gas and power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer starts and runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the belt safety switch do?
The belt safety switch monitors belt-related conditions near the drive belt and tensioner pulley assembly and interrupts electrical flow to the motor or heating circuit if it detects a fault or unsafe condition — such as a broken or badly slipped drive belt. This is a protective measure: if the belt has failed and the drum can no longer be driven normally, the switch helps prevent continued unsafe operation of the motor or heater. It works alongside other safety components in the dryer (like the door/cover switch and thermal limiters) as part of an overall safety system.
My dryer just had a belt replacement and now isn't working right — could this switch be involved?
It's possible. Since this switch is positioned near the belt and tensioner pulley assembly, it can be disturbed, dislodged, or its connector improperly reseated during a belt replacement. If your dryer is behaving erratically after a recent belt repair — failing to start, shutting off, or not heating — check that this switch's connector is fully seated and that the switch itself wasn't damaged during the repair. If the connector is good and the switch tests as an open circuit with a multimeter, it has failed and needs replacement.
How do I test if this safety switch has failed?
Unplug the dryer, disconnect the switch's wire connector, and set your multimeter to continuity mode. With the belt and tensioner mechanism in their normal operating position, the switch should show closed continuity (allowing current to flow). If the switch shows an open circuit when it should be closed, it has failed and needs replacement. Always refer to your specific model's wiring diagram to confirm the expected switch state, since exact behavior can vary by dryer model.
Does this switch fit Insignia and Criterion dryers as well as Midea?
Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in certain configurations are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this belt safety switch. Confirmed Criterion models include the CDG41N1AW and CDG45N1AW gas dryers. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications. It is the exact same belt safety switch installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO HS810 Refrigerator 3-in-1 Hard Start Kit 1/12 to 1/5 HP 120V
The XPARTCO XPHS810 is a universal 3-in-1 hard start kit that combines a solid-state starting relay, a start capacitor, and thermal overload protection into a single prewired unit for refrigerator and freezer compressors rated 1/12 to 1/5 HP at 120V (110–125VAC). It's designed as a direct equivalent to the widely used Supco RCO810 and similar kits, giving a struggling compressor extra starting torque to overcome internal friction and gas pressure at startup — commonly used to fix the classic "click-buzz-click" no-start symptom without replacing the entire compressor.
The kit is fully prewired with color-coded leads (typically black = Common, white = Start, red = Run) and mounts directly onto the compressor's terminal pins, with instructions printed on the unit itself. It directly replaces Supco RCO810, URCO810, URC0810, RC0810, RC100, TJ90RCO810, AP4503019, ERP810, ERPU810, HS8, HS810, HS81, PCS810, and Mars 32781. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO HS810 3-in-1 Hard Start Kit fixes refrigerators and freezers whose compressor makes a repeated "click-buzz-click" sound and fails to start, or that shut off on thermal overload during startup. Combines relay, start capacitor, and overload protector in one prewired unit for 1/12 to 1/5 HP compressors, 120V, 3.5A RLA. Replaces Supco RCO810, URCO810, RC0810, RC100, TJ90RCO810, AP4503019, ERP810, HS8, HS810, HS81, PCS810, Mars 32781. Do not install on LG linear/inverter compressors — see Installation Notes.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Compressor makes a repeated "click-buzz-click" noise and fails to start
Refrigerator or freezer runs warm because the compressor won't stay running
Compressor hums but doesn't start, then trips off on overload
Refrigerator cycles on and off rapidly without reaching temperature
Older or worn compressor that starts hard, especially after a power outage
⚠ Capacitor Hazard — Read Before Servicing This kit contains a start capacitor, which can store a dangerous electrical charge even after the refrigerator is unplugged. Always disconnect power before servicing, and discharge the capacitor safely (using an insulated-handle resistor tool or by briefly shorting the terminals with an insulated screwdriver) before handling it. Never touch capacitor terminals with bare hands. If you are not comfortable working around stored electrical charge, have this repair performed by a qualified technician.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Discharge Capacitor Safely Disconnect power before beginning. Before touching any wiring, check your compressor's data label to confirm it is NOT a linear/inverter/BLDC compressor — this kit is not compatible with those and can damage the inverter board if connected. Access the compressor compartment, typically at the rear or bottom of the unit. Remove the existing relay/overload assembly by gently pulling it straight off the compressor terminal pins — do not force or twist. Use a multimeter to confirm which pins are Common (C), Start (S), and Run (R) if not already labeled. Connect the hard start kit's wires to the matching pins. Wire the kit's main power leads into the refrigerator's supply wiring using wire nuts, following the included diagram. Secure the kit with zip ties or its mounting strap to prevent vibration damage during compressor operation. Restore power and confirm the compressor starts smoothly without repeated clicking. Tools needed: nut driver or screwdriver, digital multimeter, wire nuts, insulated screwdriver (for capacitor discharge).
Frequently Asked Questions
My compressor makes a clicking or buzzing sound and won't start — will this fix it?
A hard start kit resolves this in many cases, especially on older or worn compressors that struggle to overcome internal gas pressure at startup. However, "click-buzz-click" can also indicate a failing compressor winding or a compressor nearing end of life. If the hard start kit doesn't resolve the issue, the compressor itself may need replacement — a hard start kit can extend a marginal compressor's life but can't revive one with failed internal windings.
Can I use this on any refrigerator?
This kit works on standard PSC and RSIR compressors within the 1/12 to 1/5 HP range at 120V. It is NOT compatible with LG linear/inverter compressors or any variable-speed inverter-driven compressor — connecting it to one of those can destroy the inverter control board. Check your compressor's label for "Inverter," "Linear," "BLDC," or "Digital" before ordering.
Do I need to remove my existing start capacitor or relay first?
Yes — remove the old relay/overload assembly from the compressor terminal pins before installing this kit. The XPHS810 is designed to work with or without an existing separate run capacitor remaining in the circuit, but the old start relay and any old start capacitor should be removed and replaced by this kit, not left in place alongside it.
Is this safe to install myself?
Many DIYers install hard start kits successfully, but this repair involves a capacitor that can hold a dangerous electrical charge even after the unit is unplugged, plus correctly identifying compressor terminals. If you're not comfortable working around stored electrical charge or don't have a multimeter to confirm terminal identification, we'd recommend having a qualified technician perform this repair.

XPARTCO EXP570 Dryer Door Latch Kit
The XPARTCO EXP570 is an aftermarket replacement door catch and strike kit for dryers from Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Frigidaire, GE, Hotpoint, Inglis, LG, and other comparable brands. The catch and strike work as a pair: the strike on the dryer door engages the catch on the cabinet to hold the door shut for the whole cycle. When either part wears, cracks, or gets knocked out of alignment, the door stops latching reliably. It may not stay closed, it may pop open mid-cycle and let heat escape, or the dryer may refuse to start because it doesn't register the door as closed.
Each kit includes 1 door catch and 1 strike, so you can replace the full latch set in one repair rather than guessing which half is worn. Because this latch design was used across several appliance families, the kit carries a long cross-reference list covering Whirlpool, Frigidaire, GE, LG, and Alliance-built part numbers; see the Replaces list below.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO EXP570 Dryer Door Latch Kit fixes a dryer door that won't stay closed, opens mid-cycle, or an open-door condition that keeps the dryer from starting, caused by a worn or damaged catch and strike. Each kit includes 1 door catch and 1 strike. Fits Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Frigidaire, GE, Hotpoint, Inglis, and LG dryers. Classic symptom: the door swings open on its own, or you have to hold it shut to get the dryer to run.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer door won't stay closed
Door pops open in the middle of a cycle
Dryer won't start because the open-door condition isn't clearing
Worn, cracked, or damaged catch or strike
Heat escaping around the door, leaving clothes damp
Door that no longer latches with a firm, positive click

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. Open the door and inspect the old catch on the cabinet and the strike on the door for cracks, wear, or loose mounting. Remove the old catch and strike, keeping track of how each one is oriented and mounted. Fit the new catch and strike in the same positions and fasten them securely. Close the door and confirm it latches with a firm click, stays shut, and lines up evenly with the cabinet. If the door still won't seat properly after the swap, check the door hinges and alignment, since a misaligned door can wear out new latch parts quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer door won't stay shut — is this the part I need?
Very likely. A worn or damaged catch or strike is a common reason a dryer door won't latch or pops open mid-cycle. Inspect both parts for cracks or wear. Because the two work as a pair, replacing both at once is the surest fix.
My dryer won't start and seems to think the door is open. Could this be the cause?
It can be. If the door isn't latching fully, the dryer may not register it as closed. If the latch looks fine and the door closes firmly but the dryer still won't start, the door switch may be the problem instead.
What's included in the kit?
Each kit includes 1 door catch and 1 strike. If you only need the catch, we also offer it separately as the EXP571 Dryer Door Catch.
Will this fit my Whirlpool, Frigidaire, GE, or LG dryer?
This kit is cross-referenced to part numbers from all of those brands, but it fits specific models rather than every dryer. Match the number on your old latch parts or parts diagram against the Replaces list, or contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm before you order.

WD21X25468 Genuine OEM GE Dishwasher Pressure Sensor Assembly
The WD21X25468 is a Genuine OEM GE replacement dishwasher pressure sensor assembly compatible with a wide range of GE, GE Profile, GE Café, Hotpoint, Haier, and Monogram dishwashers in the GDF, GDT, GDP, PDT, CDT, ZDT, QDP, and HDF series. The pressure sensor monitors water pressure inside the dishwasher tub during fill and drain cycles and sends real-time readings to the electronic control board. The control board uses these readings to calculate the correct amount of water needed for each wash cycle and to confirm that the tub has drained properly before advancing to the next cycle phase.
When the pressure sensor fails — or when it becomes clogged with grease, food residue, or mineral buildup — the dishwasher may not fill with water, may overfill, may stop mid-cycle, may fail to drain correctly, or may display error codes H2O or FTD (Failure to Drain). This Genuine OEM part is manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It directly replaces AP6976524, PS12741258, EAP12741258, 4962334, 37640602, and 265D3356P001. Sold individually. Installs in 15–20 minutes — a screwdriver is the only tool required for most models.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before beginning. On most compatible GE models, the pressure sensor is located near the bottom of the dishwasher tub, accessible after removing the lower front kick panel (secured by one or two screws). The sensor assembly connects to a small hose and a wiring harness connector. Tip: before replacing the sensor, remove it and inspect the pressure port and hose for grease, food residue, or mineral buildup — a clogged sensor port can cause H2O and FTD errors without the sensor itself being electrically failed. Clean the port and hose with warm water and a small brush, reinstall, and test the dishwasher. If the error codes persist after cleaning, replace the WD21X25468 sensor. To replace: disconnect the hose and wiring harness from the old sensor, unclip or unscrew the sensor from its mounting bracket, and install the new sensor in the same position. Reconnect the hose and harness, restore power and water, and run a test cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dishwasher pressure sensor do?
The pressure sensor monitors the water pressure — and therefore the water level — inside the dishwasher tub throughout the wash cycle. It sends continuous readings to the electronic control board, which uses the data to determine how much water to add during fill, when to stop filling, and whether the tub has drained completely before advancing to the next cycle phase. An accurate pressure sensor is essential for the dishwasher to fill to the correct level (not too much, not too little), wash with the correct spray arm pressure, and drain fully before moving on to rinse or dry cycles.
What do error codes H2O and FTD mean on GE dishwashers?
H2O error code on compatible GE dishwashers indicates that the dishwasher is not detecting enough water in the tub — either water is not filling at all, or the pressure sensor is not sensing the water that has filled. FTD (Failure to Drain) code indicates the dishwasher has not confirmed that the tub has drained within the expected time. Both codes can be caused by a faulty pressure sensor, a clogged sensor port, a failed fill valve, a blocked drain system, or control board issues. The pressure sensor should be inspected and tested first since it is the most accessible and commonly replaced component for these two error codes.
Should I try cleaning the sensor before replacing it?
Yes — absolutely. The pressure sensor on GE dishwashers can produce H2O and FTD error codes when its pressure port or connected hose becomes clogged with grease, food residue, or hard water mineral deposits — even if the sensor itself is electrically intact. Before ordering a replacement, remove the sensor, inspect the pressure port opening, and clean it thoroughly with warm water and a small brush. Flush the connected hose to clear any buildup. Reinstall and run a test cycle. If the error codes return, the sensor has electrically failed and needs replacement with the WD21X25468.
My dishwasher won't fill unless I pour water in manually first — is this the pressure sensor?
Yes — this is a classic symptom of a clogged or failed pressure sensor. When the sensor port is blocked, the sensor reads zero pressure (empty tub) even when the dishwasher starts. In some cases the control board interprets this as a drainage confirmation and will not initiate the fill cycle. Pouring water into the filter manually raises the physical water level enough to trigger filling. Check and clean the sensor port as described above. If cleaning does not resolve the issue, replace the WD21X25468 sensor.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same pressure sensor assembly installed in compatible GE, GE Profile, GE Café, Hotpoint, and related brand dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
