Nordyne 01-0262 Run Capacitor

The Nordyne 01-0262 is a professional-grade 30/3 MFD 370V dual run capacitor designed for precise motor and compressor phase-shift control in HVACR systems. As a veteran-spec OEM replacement part, this 30+3 microfarad capacitor ensures the appropriate torque displacement required to start and run both the compressor and the condenser fan motor efficiently. Engineered with a round metal casing and a durable thermoplastic top, this Nordyne 01-0262 30/3 370V unit replaces failing capacitors that exhibit bulging, leaking, or out-of-tolerance capacitance readings that lead to hard starting or motor overheating. It is rated for 370 Volts AC and 50/60 Hz operations, maintaining strict tolerances to protect high-value circuit components. Field-tested for compatibility across multiple Nordyne brands including Intertherm, Miller, and Frigidaire, this dual HVAC capacitor provides the reliable microfarad stability necessary for maintaining compressor startup performance in demanding residential and light commercial condenser units.

• Dual-Circuit Functionality: Integrated 30 MFD and 3 MFD sections allow for simultaneous support of the compressor and fan motor from a single compact footprint.
• Precise Tolerance: Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, ensuring that current storage matches the motor's design requirements to prevent winding burnout.
• Universal Nordyne Fit: Serves as a direct-drop-in OEM capacitor for a wide range of air conditioners and heat pumps under the Nordyne family of brands.
• Thermal Stability: The robust round design and internal oil-filled construction provide superior heat dissipation during high-cycle summer operation.

Can I use a 440V capacitor to replace this 370V model?
Yes, in field applications, a 440V rated capacitor can safely replace a 370V unit as it has a higher insulation breakdown threshold, provided the MFD ratings (30/3) are identical.

What are the signs that this 01-0262 capacitor needs replacement?
Common indicators include the outdoor fan not spinning, a humming sound from the compressor without it starting, or visible physical swelling of the capacitor’s metal housing.

Is the 30/3 MFD rating compatible with 30/5 MFD systems?
No, for proper motor operation and to prevent permanent motor damage, you must match the microfarad (MFD) requirements of your specific motor. Always verify the ratings on the motor nameplate or the original part.
