Capacitor replacement
I have an AireFlo AFAIR10B36 AC unit.
As it's hitting 11 years old this year I thought I would order the contactor and capacitor for this unit so I would have them on hand.
When I ordered the capacitor I got an oval or egg shaped unit and when I pulled the cover off the capacitor as built is round.
There is room for the wider part and I hate doing returns.
So rather than chasing another capacitor what's the solution, just make a mounting bracket to accommodate the newer style capacitor?

OK, that is what I was thinking and yes the ratings are correct. I ordered the part number specified but they substituted on me in the order.
Not worth returning to me so I will just use the one they sent me.
