Bard part number 8552-051 is an OEM dual run capacitor rated 40/5 MFD at 440V in a compact round 2-1/2 inch diameter can, used to support proper starting and stable operation of the compressor and condenser fan motor in compatible Bard wall mount air conditioners. When a unit has hard starting, intermittent fan operation, or nuisance trips tied to a weak capacitor, replacing with the correct Bard-specified 8552-051 helps restore designed motor performance and protects components from overheating and electrical stress. Always match the microfarad ratings and voltage to your model and wiring diagram before installation, and discharge the old capacitor safely during service.
