    ''5uf 36 uf '' Is it a 2 section capacater, 3-4 terminals. If so, the 5 and 36 are the sizes for each section. It is not a u, but a Greek letter.

    According to the product information on the unit at the Goodman website, the 30 represents both the heating and cooling BTU per hour rating.

    If I remember correctly, 1 ton of air conditioning is equal to 12,000 BTU/H.

    The GE capacitor #97F9834 is obsolete, but is available from many other sources, such as:

    The cap is rated in dual micro farads 35 MFD and 5 MFD. Dual rated caps are uses to run both the compressor, and the fan.
