Bard part 8552-026 is a round run capacitor rated 15 MFD at 370 VAC, commonly used to support steady operation of condenser fan motors or blower motors in Bard wall-mounted HVAC equipment by maintaining proper motor phase and torque. A weak or failed run capacitor can cause hard starting, overheating, nuisance trips, or a motor that hums without turning, so replacing it with the correct capacitance and voltage rating is critical for reliable performance. This OEM-style replacement matches the specified 1-3/4 inch diameter form factor noted for this part number, helping ensure proper fit in the electrical compartment and stable day-to-day operation when installed to the original Bard wiring configuration.
