EAE43285410 Genuine Dual Capacitor 6/45uF for LG Air Conditioners, LG Split System Dual Run Capacitor

Genuine LG part EAE43285410 is a dual capacitor rated 6/45uF, used in LG air conditioners. A dual capacitor combines two sections in one can, here a 45uF section and a 6uF section, sharing a common terminal. In a typical setup the larger section serves the compressor and the smaller one the outdoor fan motor. No model list is on file, so match the part number and ratings printed on your old capacitor.

Air conditioner not starting? A failed capacitor is a common cause

Single phase compressors and fan motors rely on a capacitor to start and run efficiently. When the 45uF section weakens, the compressor hums, struggles to start or trips on overload, and the system blows air that isn't properly cold or warm. A failed 6uF section usually stops the outdoor fan, so the unit overheats and cuts out. Capacitors age with heat, and a bulging top, oil leaking from the case or a reading well below the rated value on a capacitance tester are clear signs it's finished.

Safety first with air conditioner capacitors

Air conditioners are hard-wired, so isolate the unit at the switchboard and the outdoor isolator, and have a licensed electrician or qualified air conditioning technician do the work. A capacitor can hold a dangerous charge after the power is off, so it must be discharged safely before handling. Label each wire against its terminal before removal, and check the voltage rating matches the old one.

Questions about this part

Can I fit a capacitor with slightly different values?

It's best to match both values exactly. A 6/45uF dual capacitor is specified for the compressor and fan it serves, and the wrong values can cause poor starting, overheating or early motor failure. The voltage rating should be the same as the old capacitor or higher.
