OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 3 MFD 440V for Model 06EV022500

This is the factory-specified OEM single run capacitor for the Carrier 06EV022500, carrying Totaline part numbers P291-0303 and its direct successor P291-0304. The run capacitor maintains a continuous phase shift in the motor winding to keep the compressor or fan motor spinning efficiently. When this capacitor weakens or fails, you'll typically notice the motor humming without starting, sluggish startup, frequent short-cycling, or complete motor failure — all classic signs of capacitor degradation.

  • Specs: 3 MFD (microfarad) | 370/440V dual-rated | Oval case | 50/60 Hz | Dimensions: 2¾" H × 2" L × 1¼" W | RoHS compliant
  • OEM vs Generic: This genuine Totaline/Carrier capacitor is manufactured to ±5% MFD tolerance and reliability-tested to 60,000 service hours per United Technologies specifications. Generic alternatives often carry ±10% tolerance, which accelerates motor wear and can shorten equipment life.
  • Install Difficulty: 1/5 — One of the easiest HVAC repairs. Discharge the capacitor fully before touching terminals. Tools needed: flathead or ¼" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Always photograph the existing wiring before disconnecting any terminals.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships the same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Fits Carrier model 06EV022500. P291-0304 is the current superseding part number for the original P291-0303 and also replaces legacy Carrier numbers including HC90AA003, HC90AB003, HC96FU003, HC96FU013, HC97CE508, and 700053-31. Always verify the MFD and voltage ratings on your unit's data plate before ordering. Our team is available to confirm fitment before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier 06EV022500?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier 06EV022500. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the capacitor on my Carrier 06EV022500?
Difficulty: Easy (20–30 min)
Step 1: Turn off power at breaker. Step 2: Open condensing unit panel. Step 3: Photograph the old capacitor wiring (Common/Herm/Fan). Step 4: Discharge old capacitor with insulated screwdriver. Step 5: Disconnect and remove old capacitor. Step 6: Mount new capacitor, reconnect wires to matching terminals. Step 7: Close panel, restore power, test. Tools: screwdriver, needle-nose pliers.
My AC hums but won’t start. What part do I need?
An AC that hums but won’t start is the classic symptom of a failed capacitor. The capacitor provides the electrical boost to start the compressor. When it fails, you hear humming but the motor can’t overcome inertia. Other symptoms: fan spinning slowly, AC cycling on/off rapidly, or a visibly swollen capacitor. Fix: replace capacitor ($15–$80 DIY, 30 min).
Is this capacitor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many Carrier parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Carrier capacitor?
OEM strongly recommended. OEM capacitors have ±6% MFD tolerance vs aftermarket ±10%. The looser tolerance causes motor winding stress, higher temps, and shorter compressor life. Price difference is only $10–$20 — OEM is the clear value choice.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
Orders placed before 3:00 PM CST ship the same business day. Standard delivery is 2–5 business days anywhere in the continental United States. Express shipping available at checkout. We ship from Houston, TX to all 50 states. 30-day return policy on all parts.
