Nordyne 01-0096 Run Capacitor

The Nordyne 01-0096 is a professional-grade 35/5 MFD 440V dual run capacitor engineered for high-performance HVAC systems. This round metallized polypropylene film capacitor serves as a critical component for stabilizing voltage and optimizing the startup torque of both the compressor and condenser fan motor. Operating at 440VAC, this unit is backward compatible with 370V applications, providing an increased safety margin against voltage spikes and thermal stress in demanding environments. As a drop-in HVAC replacement part, it ensures your system maintains the necessary phase shift for motor efficiency and longevity. The Nordyne 01-0096 is the direct OEM-specified replacement for legacy part numbers 620764 and 620764R. Its robust construction is designed to withstand continuous duty cycles in residential and light commercial heat pumps and air conditioners, making it a reliable choice for contractors prioritizing system uptime and precise electrical tolerances.

• Dual Run Versatility: Manages both the compressor (35 MFD) and fan motor (5 MFD) circuits in a single round housing.
• Extended Voltage Rating: Rated for 440 Volts to provide superior heat dissipation and reliability over standard 370V capacitors.
• OEM Compatibility: Replaces Nordyne 620764, 620764R, and round dual run capacitors with matching capacitance.
• Environmental Resilience: Engineered to operate within standard HVAC temperature ranges, reducing the risk of bulging or leaking under load.

Can I use an 01-0096 to replace a 370V capacitor?
Yes, you can always go up in voltage. Using this 440V rated capacitor in place of a 370V unit provides a higher burst tolerance and typically results in a longer service life for the component.

What are the signs that my Nordyne 35/5 capacitor has failed?
Common indicators include a bulging top cap, a humming compressor that fails to start, or the condenser fan motor failing to reach full RPM. Always verify with a capacitance tester during your PM call.

Is the 01-0096 compatible with other brands?
While designed for Nordyne, Intertherm, and Miller equipment, this 35/5 440V capacitor is compatible with any HVAC system requiring these specific microfarad and voltage ratings.
