If push comes to fatal fall, you can always query the company that manufactures, hard start, kits if it is a cap failure. They would know.
The capacitor is a 370 VAC 40/12 UF dual function (start/run) capacitor. Carrier tech support will not even talk about these units anymore, NO SUPPORT. Yes, I can make two capacitors probably work to start and run the compressor and the fan but this does not solve the problem of the age of the unit. I would much rather replace the entire unit (money is not an issue) and get 10 more yrs out of this new HVAC system. If the cap has "puked", the next item will fail and will continue the "nickel-dime" scenario.
I was looking for A/C recommendations based on RV owner usage and experience with replacement. Thanks for your suggestions.
