The Bard 8552-079 is an OEM dual run capacitor rated 45/10 MFD at 370V, commonly used to support proper operation of the compressor and condenser fan motor in Bard wall-mounted air conditioners and related equipment. A weak or failing capacitor can cause hard starting, overheating, nuisance shutoffs, or a motor that only hums, so replacing it with the correct Bard-specified value helps restore reliable starts and steady run performance. Match the microfarad ratings and voltage exactly to your unit nameplate or service literature before ordering, and have a qualified technician verify wiring and safe discharge procedures during installation.
