Hi all,
I have a Trane TTX036C100A1 XL1200 A/C unit. I decided to purchase each of the 3 capacitors to have on hand so when one blows I got it ready to go! ...because one blew August last year and it was a $190 service call. ouch
Well, when I opened it up I noticed one was leaking. That specific capacitor was installed with the label non-visible (the other 2 I could read). I went online and ordered the 3 capacitors that were on this unit. Problem is when I went to replace it today (killed the breaker, tested to make sure power is off, shorted capacitor contacts with screwdriver) the MFD is different than what everything says.
This is what is in there currently:
This is what I purchased: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400467149138
Looking at the parts list I took out of the outside unit it appears to me that the 12.5mfd is for the 42, 48 and 60k btu models, while the 5 is for 30 and 36k btu and 4mfd is for smaller.
Also what is in there has some added wording that mine doesn't have ("internally protected", "1000 AFC","SH capacitor")? Looking up sh (self healing) and the others doesn't seem like it's a necessity?
Anyone have a bone they can throw me? I didn't want to put the wrong one in (what I bought) and I go to turn it on and the 4 sides fall off while the compressor, condenser and motor sail off into the air and my neighbor mistakes it for a drone and shoots it down. Not sure if someone has an official book to look this up in...??
Thanks all!
Kevin
