P06-T06220 Genuine Capacitor for Panasonic Air Conditioners S-100PE1R5, Replacement Capacitor for Panasonic Indoor Unit

This is P06-T06220, a genuine Panasonic capacitor listed for the S-100PE1R5. In this Panasonic range the S prefix marks the indoor unit, and in an indoor unit a capacitor like this most often works with the fan motor, giving it the phase shift it needs to start and run. Our record doesn't state the capacitance or voltage, so compare the markings on your old capacitor before you order.

Signs of a failed capacitor in a Panasonic indoor unit

A motor run capacitor stores and releases charge to create a rotating field in the motor windings. When it weakens, the motor loses torque. Typical symptoms are a fan that hums but won't spin, starts only with a nudge, runs noticeably slower than it should, or trips its thermal protection. Capacitors age faster in hot locations and can bulge, leak or crack open. Testing with a capacitance tester tells you whether it has drifted out of tolerance. Replacing a weak capacitor early can save the motor from overheating.

Part details

• Genuine Panasonic part P06-T06220
• Capacitor listed for the S-100PE1R5
• Capacitance and voltage not on file, match the markings on your old part
• Licensed electrician or technician to fit

Testing and replacing the capacitor

Isolate the air conditioner at the switchboard and discharge the old capacitor safely before touching its terminals. Photograph the wiring, then connect the new capacitor the same way and secure it in its clamp. A licensed electrician or technician should carry out the work and check the fan motor current once it's running again.

Questions about this part

Can I use any capacitor with the same rating?

A capacitor with matching capacitance, voltage and terminals will often work electrically, but the genuine part is the one Panasonic specifies for the S-100PE1R5. Have a licensed technician confirm any substitute before it goes in.
