  • $20.00


The Nordyne 01-0279 Dual Capacitor is a high-performance HVAC dual run capacitor engineered for demanding residential air conditioning and heat pump applications. Rated at 7.5/80 MFD with a 370V threshold, this round run capacitor is a critical component for technicians performing a capacitor replacement on Intertherm, Miller, and Frigidaire units. Designed to manage both the compressor and the condenser fan motor, this dual-rated unit ensures precise phase shift and voltage stability, effectively reducing winding heat and improving torque during the start-up cycle. This OEM-spec part, cross-referenced to #621717, features a robust aluminum oil-filled casing and standard ?" quick-connect terminals for seamless integration. When you are troubleshooting a condenser not spinning or a compressor failing to turn over, verified capacitance at the HERM and FAN terminals is essential. This rugged component provides the reliability required for high-cycle environments, ensuring your clients' systems maintain peak efficiency and operational life across the full HVAC cooling season.

Key Benefits:
  • Dual-Rated Performance: Supports both the compressor (80 MFD) and fan motor (7.5 MFD) using a common terminal configuration to streamline circuit wiring.
  • OEM Compatibility: Direct replacement for Nordyne 01-0279 and Nortek #621717, ensuring exact physical and electrical fit for Intertherm and Miller equipment.
  • Voltage Stability: Rated for 370VAC to provide consistent power delivery and protect sensitive motor windings from premature failure.
  • Industrial Build: Features a durable round aluminum housing designed to withstand the high ambient temperatures found in outdoor condensing units.
  • Standardized Terminals: Equipped with multi-spade quick-connect terminals for fast field installation and secure electrical contact.
Common Questions:
  • Can I use a 440V capacitor if my original part was 370V? Yes, a higher voltage rating is acceptable as it indicates the capacitor's ability to handle greater electrical stress; however, the MFD ratings (7.5/80) must match exactly.
  • How do I identify which terminals are for the fan and compressor? The terminals are typically marked: 'C' for Common, 'HERM' for the compressor, and 'FAN' for the condenser fan motor.
  • Does it matter which way the wires are connected to the specific terminal? While you must connect the correct wires to the correct terminal group (C, HERM, or FAN), the orientation of wires within a single multi-spade group does not affect performance.
