Application
The 43-26271-47 is intended as a direct OEM replacement capacitor for Rheem and Ruud air conditioning and heat pump systems. It is commonly used in condenser units where a single dual run capacitor serves both the compressor and the condenser fan motor. Always verify capacitance and voltage ratings against your existing capacitor and equipment documentation before installation.
Installation Notes
- Discharge the old capacitor fully before handling — capacitors can retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed
- Match terminal labeling (HERM, FAN, COM) carefully during installation
- Consult the unit’s wiring diagram to confirm correct terminal connections
- Replacement should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician
