My AC unit stopped working. Before I spent hundreds of dollars to see an HVAC specialist, I was able to remove the A/C cover with ease (breaker off!) Then simultaneously touch the existing capacitor pins with a rubber-handled screwdriver to discharge the capacitor It had a leak so I ordered this one which has the same specs as that had old one. Did it in 2 days for about $10. Took 5 minutes to install, AC works perfectly now. As a DIYer, this was the easiest fix I've had in a while. Great product at a great price.
