View Full Version : AC capacitor replacement

I have a YORK AC unit. I had the capacitor tested and it has gone bad. It is a 4/30MFD dual level single unit with 3 sets of connections at the top. It had 4 connections running to it - 1 on FAN, 2 on C (compressor I believe) and 1 on HERM. When I went to get the part replaced they only had a 4MFD and a 30MFD separate units but said that would be ok.

I need help in the connection setup for the 2 new capacitors. Which lines go to which and do I need any additional cables to run the capacitors in series or parallel?

Thanks
