Bard part number 8552-002 is an OEM 5 MFD 370V run capacitor used for the outdoor fan motor circuit on select Bard wall mounted heat pump and air conditioner units. A properly rated run capacitor helps the condenser fan motor start smoothly and maintain correct operating speed, which supports stable head pressure and reliable cooling performance. If your unit has a weak fan start, slow fan ramp up, or intermittent trips, replacing the run capacitor with the correct capacitance and voltage rating is a common, technician approved fix. Bard literature lists 8552-002 as an outdoor motor capacitor, and it is commonly serviced under the updated replacement part 8552-002BX, so confirm the exact part callout by model and serial number before ordering.
