This is the genuine Coleman 1499-6601 dual fan and run capacitor, the factory replacement for the 470X4B87X and 472X3B87X series. One inexpensive part that gets the fan spinning and the compressor cooling again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your Coleman rooftop AC has quit blowing cold, or the fan won't spin up, a tired run capacitor is one of the first things to check. This is the genuine Coleman 1499-6601 dual capacitor package, the fan and run capacitor combo built for the 470X4B87X and 472X3B87X series units. It's a small part, but it's the one that makes everything else turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what a dual run capacitor does. It gives the fan motor and the compressor the electrical kick they need to start and keep running under load. When it weakens, you'll see the classic symptoms. The unit hums but won't start. The fan turns slow or not at all. The compressor trips the breaker on a hot afternoon. Nine times out of ten on these Coleman units, it's the capacitor, not the motor, and it's a fraction of the cost to rule out first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a straightforward swap for anyone comfortable working around 120V. Kill the power at the breaker first, then discharge the old capacitor before you touch the terminals, because these hold a charge even with the power off. Snap a photo of the wiring before you pull anything so the new one goes back the same way. Match the terminals, button up the shroud, and you're back in business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing worth saying. This is the factory Coleman replacement, not a guess-and-hope part off the shelf. It's matched to the fan and compressor motors in the 470 and 472 series, so you're not gambling on whether the rating is right for your unit. If you're not sure which AC you've got, the model number is printed on the label under the shroud or on the ceiling assembly inside the coach. Send it to us and we'll confirm the fit before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenuine Coleman 1499-6601 replacement, matched to the factory fan and compressor motor ratings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual capacitor package, covers both the fan and run functions in one part\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect fit for Coleman 470X4B87X and 472X3B87X series rooftop air conditioners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommon fix for a unit that hums but won't start, a slow fan, or a compressor that trips the breaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraightforward swap with basic hand tools for anyone comfortable around 120V wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFactory part, so there's no guessing on terminal layout or fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Coleman reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does this capacitor actually do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's the dual run capacitor that gives your rooftop AC's fan motor and compressor the electrical push they need to start and keep running.
