OK. This deal right here is called a hard start kit and what it does is when an air
conditioner first starts it draws a lot of power. This little hard start gives it an
extra booos t to get the compressor going. It's kind of funny. I have seen brand new
units installed out here with no hard start kit and the compressors when they turn on
even brand new sometimes will have a hard time to start. Installing one of these hard
start kits which usually goes on both sides the herm and the common for your the hermetic
and the common for your capacitor. One lead to each side. Will make those units run properly.
Like I said I have had brand new units that needed it. You can put up to two of these
on a unit if you needed it. I have had some where it was running fine for a long time
and all of a sudden the compressor wouldn't start. Added a second hard start kit and it
was good to go. Then the compressor was able to start.
