Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my AC capacitor has failed?

Common signs include: AC won't start but you hear humming, compressor runs hot and shuts off, fan runs but compressor doesn't start, or the unit trips your breaker. A failed capacitor is one of the most common AC failures in RVs.

Can I use a different MFD rating capacitor?

No. Always use the exact MFD rating specified by Dometic. Using incorrect capacitance can damage your compressor or fan motor and void your warranty. This 50/5 MFD rating is engineered specifically for SVC Series units.

Is this difficult to replace myself?

If you're comfortable working with electrical components and can safely disconnect power, capacitor replacement is straightforward. Always disconnect shore power and turn off the breaker before working on your AC. Take a photo of wire connections before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.

Will this fix my AC if it's not cooling?

If your AC runs but doesn't cool, and the compressor isn't starting (you'll hear humming but no compressor click), a failed capacitor is the likely cause. However, if the compressor runs but doesn't cool, you may have a refrigerant or compressor issue instead.
