My brother said it was very easy to install ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exact match to OEM *by on Reviewed in the United States November 14, 2025* Installed and working. Good quality. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Craftsman air compressor works again *by on Reviewed in the United States September 16, 2025* I used this on a Craftsman 33gal air compressor for the start capacitor. It is not a direct replacement. There is no mount stud at the base. The connections were the same and I just secured it by ty wraps. It functions properly in this installation. My compressor works again. ## Frequently Bought Together - BlueStars Universal Fit 400-480 uf/MFD 165 VAC Round Motor Start Capacitor 50/60 Hz AC Electric Replacement Part - Lifetime Up to 30.000 Hours - 40 uF/MFD 370-440VAC Round Run Start Capacitor Replacement Part by Blue Stars - Exact Fit for AC Motor Run or Fan Start and Cool or Heat Pump Air Conditioner - VEXUNGA 40uF 40 MFD 370VAC 440VAC 450VAC 50/60Hz CBB65 CBB65B Run Start Capacitor for AC Unit Fan Motor Start or Pool Pump or Air Condenser Straight Cool --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/449091344-ul-listed-bluestars-400-480-uf-mfd-165-vac-universal](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/449091344-ul-listed-bluestars-400-480-uf-mfd-165-vac-universal) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-11*
