Trane Air Conditioners

Capacitors are small cylindrical parts that store energy in your Trane xe1200 central Air Conditioner unit. Capacitors work with the compressor, the blower motor, and the outside fan in your air conditioner.

You need to use the same rated capacitor for the Trane xe1200 AC unit. As far as the voltage on the capacitor this particular one is I think a 370 volt. You can go up in voltage you just can’t go down in voltage when you use a trane xe1200 capacitor. You always want to use the same microfarad capacitor.

Symptoms of a Bad Trane XE1200 Capacitor

If your trane xe1200 air conditioner is not blowing cold air, a bad capacitor may be the reason. However, look for the other possibilities first. Maybe you need to change the air filters, or it could be one of several other reasons.

The most common signs and symptoms of a bad AC capacitor include:

AC not blowing cold air
AC takes a while to start once you turn it on
Humming sound coming from your air conditioner
AC shuts off on its own
AC won’t turn on

What is the Proper Run Capacitor for Trane XE1200

To find the proper capacitor for trane xe1200, what you can do is call Trane or your local Trane supply house and give them the model and serial number of the entire condensing unit, not the cap. They will have all specs for it including fan motor, compressor, cap ratings, etc.

The Trane XE1200 have been around for a while now. The specs to be at the higher end of efficiency back when the minimum legal installation was 12-SEER. That said, and painting with a very broad brush, I would begin to question the wisdom of investing in a large repair bill on a unit that is more than 10-years of age. Consider that many manufacturers are currently allowing 10-years of internal parts warranties on their equipment and therefore, anything that fails in less than 10-years is a premature failure. This article is about Trane XE1200 Specs and Reviews.

The Trane XE 1200 is a discontinued trane air conditioner. It has three-phase heat pump with an efficiency of 12.00 SEER and 8.00 HSPF. This unit has ranged in size from 1.5 to 5 tons and featured a single-stage Climatuff compressor and spine fin aluminum coils. The cabinet was constructed of full-side louvered panels with a baked-on powder paint finish and corrosion-resistant screws.

Trane XE1200 is now 1-SEER below the minimum efficiency rating allowed for new installations. So again, I’d plan on 15+ years but would think twice or three times before investing any significant money in the system once it reaches 10-years. That’s IMO and of course, you’re free to do as you choose. Just trying to give some reasonable perspective.

Trane XE1200 Consumer Review

I have purchased trane xe 1200 – 4 ton units with variable speed air handler. The compressor just went out on one of the units this week. I’m disappointed since I expected better performance from a Trane based on their reputation. I didn’t realize the compressor was on the blink until we got our Jan electric bill. What a surprise. The unit was not shutting off and the heat strips we’re on all the time. Not sure whether I’ll replace this unit with Trane xe1000. I think it should have lasted more than 7 years especially given the price of the unit.
