Hydro-Pro - Heat Pump Motor Capacitor 80µF Round Type - 7017453

Hydro-Pro – Heat Pump Motor Capacitor 80µF Round Type

This is the genuine Hydro-Pro replacement run capacitor rated at 80µF, supplied in the standard round body format with AMP-style terminals. It is a critical electrical component inside the Hydro-Pro Heat Pump (Type 18), helping to start and sustain the motor — typically the fan motor or compressor motor — during normal operation. Replacing a failed capacitor restores correct motor function and prevents overheating or further damage to the heat pump.

Compatibility

This capacitor is a factory spare part for the Hydro-Pro Heat Pump Type 18. If you are unsure whether this part fits your specific unit, cross-reference your heat pump’s model number and the original capacitor rating (80µF) before ordering. Always match the µF rating and terminal type exactly when replacing a capacitor.

Why Genuine Matters

Using a genuine Hydro-Pro capacitor ensures the correct capacitance rating, voltage tolerance, and physical dimensions for a safe and reliable fit. Off-brand substitutes may carry incorrect tolerances that cause premature motor wear, nuisance tripping, or void your heat pump warranty. This part is sourced directly from Hydro-Pro’s supply chain for peace of mind.

Installation

Capacitors store an electrical charge even when the unit is powered off — always discharge and isolate the heat pump fully before replacement. Due to the electrical nature of this component, installation by a qualified technician or electrician is strongly recommended. Ensure the AMP connector terminals are firmly seated and that the round body is secured in its original mounting bracket.
