This 35\/5 MFD capacitor provides the electrical boost needed to start and run both the compressor and fan motor in your rooftop AC unit. If your air conditioner won't start, runs intermittently, or the compressor hums without starting, a failed capacitor is often the culprit—and this is the exact replacement part you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Run Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powers both compressor (35 MFD) and fan motor (5 MFD) from a single component\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine Dometic OEM Part:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory-spec replacement ensures proper fit and reliable performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect Fit for B59516.XX Models:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered specifically for Dometic RV air conditioner systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-Duty Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and constant vibration in RV applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy Identification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear terminal markings (HERM, FAN, C) simplify installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCritical AC Component:\u003c\/strong\u003e Essential for proper compressor startup and continuous fan operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-bordered table-sm\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3100248.362\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacitance Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35\/5 MFD (Microfarads)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompressor Section\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 MFD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFan Section\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 MFD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e370 VAC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual Run Capacitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRV Rooftop Air Conditioner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Models\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-bordered table-sm\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel Series\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDescription\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB59516.XX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDometic RV Air Conditioner Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know if my capacitor has failed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon signs include: AC won't start at all, compressor hums but doesn't run, fan runs but compressor doesn't engage, or intermittent cooling. A bulging or leaking capacitor is a visual confirmation of failure. Always discharge capacitors safely before testing or replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use a universal capacitor instead of this OEM part?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile universal capacitors exist, using the genuine Dometic OEM capacitor ensures exact specifications, proper mounting configuration, and reliable performance. The 35\/5 MFD rating must match exactly—using incorrect capacitance can damage your compressor or fan motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat tools do I need to replace this capacitor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll need a screwdriver to access the AC unit's electrical compartment, needle-nose pliers for wire terminals, and an insulated screwdriver to safely discharge the old capacitor. Always turn off power at the breaker before working on your AC unit, and if you're not comfortable with electrical work, consult a qualified RV technician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this capacitor fit other Dometic AC models?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis capacitor is specifically designed for B59516.XX series air conditioners. While the electrical ratings might match other models, mounting configurations and terminal arrangements can vary. Always verify your model number and existing part number before ordering to ensure proper fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Elkhart RV Parts?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe specialize in hard-to-find Dometic RV air conditioner parts that keep you cool on the road.
