Lennox 33W98 - 35/10 MFD Dual Run Capacitor, 370 VAC, Oval
The Lennox 33W98 Dual Run Capacitor is a vital component for maintaining peak performance in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. With a capacitance rating of 35/10 microfarads (MFD) and a voltage rating of 370 VAC, this capacitor is engineered to deliver stable electrical support to both the compressor and the fan motor—eliminating the need for two separate capacitors.
This oval-shaped, dual-rated capacitor is commonly found in central air conditioning units and heat pumps. Its compact form factor makes it ideal for installations where space is limited, while the rugged metal housing ensures long-lasting durability in high-temperature and high-vibration environments.
