Genteq c3455r GE Round Capacitor 45 5 uf MFD, 97F9895, Z97F995, 97F9895BZ3, 27L880, 370V

Our AC went out on a hot day, and instead of calling an HVAC company and waiting days for an appointment, I decided to check the capacitor first. This Genteq C3455R was the exact replacement I needed.It was easy install—just took a quick photo of the old wiring, swapped the leads over, and the compressor kicked right back on. Buying this saved me a ton of money and time waiting for an HVAC guy to show up and charge a massive diagnostic fee.The part feels high-quality and operates exactly as it should. If your AC is humming but the fan or compressor won't start, definitely give this a try first. Highly recommend keeping a spare on hand!

exact replacement and quality part. installed in ten minutes and unit started right up.

Got my AC back up and running. No issues so far.

Our air conditioner/heat pump suddenly stopped working after I had forgotten to change the filter in it for waaayyyy too long. I was petrified that I had broken it, and what should have been a $40 replacement of the filter was going to end up costing thousands for a new unit. Before calling a service person, I called a friend who flips houses and asked if he had an "HVAC guy". He did. He sent over a friend of his who is a retired hvac person, and the guy took a look at it and said he thought that it was a simple fix. He told me exactly what to order and told my husband how to install it when it arrived. It came in a day or two and took my husband, who is not an HVAC pro, all of 15 minutes to get our A/C up and running again. This was an exact match for our system and was easy for my guy to install after a quick explanation from someone who knows what they're doing. It ran our A/C through the hottest end of Summer/beginning of Fall that I can remember and so far, (knock on wood), it's doing it's job fantastically in the winter as well. I would definitely recommend this item if you are in need of a new capacitor.

We are in California in an 8 year old, 4,800 sq foot home with 2 a/c units. The upstairs unit recently went out in July and it cost $200+ for parts, labor, etc. This was strictly for a capacitor. The technician gave me the old part and showed me what happens when the fan stops and the capacitor "mushrooms out". A few days ago, my downstairs unit stopped working. I went outside and sure enough, the fan wasn't spinning. Knowing we could probably do the repair on our own this time, I jumped on Amazon and entered the brand/model number which led me to this item/seller. Our original part is a GE 97F9895. The titled description of this item contains GE 97F9895 so I ordered. Quick 2 day ship. Opened package and could tell right away that this wasn't the exact part. I went back to the item description and it is vague. Even misleading/confusing. I guess I would've preferred something in Layman Terms: This is a knock off , similar item, product of Mexico, etc. I'm still not clear what Genteq is. As stated in a previous review, this Genteq capacitor was about 1 1/2 inches shorter than my original GE part. It also has a different model number other than 97F9895. My husband was very doubtful, but surprisingly, it worked like a charm. About 5-10 min to install (if unsure there are videos on YouTube). Our air conditioning unit is now up and running! I do recommend this product. Taking off 1 star in the reviews because the description wasn't clear that this was NOT the original GE product. I had to find that out by reading multiple reviews.

It’s been five years since I replaced this capacitor, and it’s still working perfectly.

In quick summary, this replaced my existing GE 97F9895 HC98JA046D and fix my problem of cold air not coming out due to the fan from outside unit not running. Below is the whole story as an FYI and exact issue and symptom that I saw if you are interested. Yesterday(Friday) morning, I heard some strange noise and it sounded like it was coming from outside some where but not my house. Later in the late afternoon, I noticed inside temperature was warmer than usual and the air blowing wasn't much cooler than running regular fan. At first I thought it was because outside was too hot as we were just getting over the heatwave. Then I became more suspicious and noticed that the fan from outside unit wasn't turning, but air was blowing from the vents. I've experienced something similar before where I had to turn off the thermostat and wait maybe 15 to 30 minutes for somethings to get reset then when I turn back on, things worked. So I did that, but this time, it was still the same. So I looked into more and noticed that noise I heard in the morning might have been coming from my unit outside. Something seems to be trying to start, but it wasn't getting started and after few minutes the noise stopped. I thought maybe it's doing a self-shutdown to protect damaging itself. So I first turned off AC and just ran the fan as turning on AC made no difference anyways. And I wanted to avoid any further damage. I then made appointment with HVAC service for Monday afternoon. Then I remember my neighbor telling me long ago how simple it was to just replace some part of AC unit and fixed his problem. So I did some search on web and it looked like my problem was with the capacitor. So I did some more search on YouTube on how to replace the capacitor as well as about discharging the capacitor which is a very important step. See the included video for the problem and image for the part that was replacing. Then I saw this part and it had overnight shipping was like $8 or $9, but Amazon prime trial was only $1.99 and I could get it next day by 10PM for free. I usually get my stuff from Amazon early afternoon, so I joined the prime trial and ordered using regular prime next day shipping. There was an option to pay $2-$3 extra to get it early in the morning, but I didn't take that option which I should have. I got the part next day(Saturday) around 3:30PM. We were lucky that it was kind of cloudy in the morning, so things were just starting to get hot now. I already did prep work on my outside unit so that all I have to do is just replace when the part comes and close it up. I discharged the new capacitor just in case someone had charged it before and returned without discharging. Discharged the existing capacitor again just to be safe. And it took maybe 5 minutes to get it replaced and put things back. And I got my cold air back!!! Inside temperature on 2nd floor was 88 F and so it's taking a long time to cool it down. And this is the part where I now regret that I should have paid extra $2-$3 shipping and get the part early in the morning so that I could fix this before inside became that hot. So I spent around $25(including Prime trial), got the part next day in the afternoon, and probably saved minimum $200 for HVAC service guy doing this for me. I just hope this thing stays running for another 15+ years!

Perfect fit and installed in minutes. Our AC died on the hottest week of the year and this got us back up and cooled off!

I have replaced the capacitor about two years ago, it has been running strong, no issue. Exactly the same size as the original one, so the installation is quite straightforward, took about 15 minutes to replace it. I would recommend it.

Replaced a GE 97F9895 capacitor in a Carrier AC when the compressor and fan would not turn on. The replacement Genteq capacitor is slightly shorter in length and fits perfectly in the bracket. AC started perfectly on change out and continues to work well. Excellent product. Would purchase again. Fair price and quick shipping.

easy install and had the AC working again in no time! Highly recommend.

Took a wild guess that this was the reason my ac unit fan wasn’t moving. Unit is only 5 years old, put it in and it started instantly. Very happy and much cooler now.

Product was same as original !
