The Bard 8552-048 is an OEM dual run capacitor rated 35/5 MFD at 370 VAC in a round can style, used to provide the correct phase shift and stable capacitance for proper operation of the compressor and the condenser fan motor in Bard HVAC equipment. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor helps restore reliable starts, smoother running, and correct motor amperage, which can reduce nuisance trips and overheating. Match the microfarad ratings (35/5) and voltage (370 VAC) exactly to your unit and the original capacitor label, and verify the terminal markings (C, FAN, HERM) during installation to ensure proper wiring and fit on Bard wall mount systems.
