OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 30 MFD 440V for Model 09DE098C500

This OEM Totaline single run capacitor (part number P291-3004) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier 09DE098C500. The run capacitor provides the continuous phase-shifted electrical charge that keeps the motor spinning at rated efficiency. When it weakens or fails, you'll notice symptoms such as an audible hum with no motor movement, the unit failing to start, or a motor that runs hot and short-cycles within minutes of startup.

  • Specs: 30 MFD (microfarad) | 440V rated | Oval case | 50/60 Hz | Factory ±5% tolerance — meets or exceeds OEM spec
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Totaline/Carrier OEM capacitor. Generic alternatives frequently ship at ±10% MFD tolerance, accelerating motor winding wear and shortening compressor and fan motor service life.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before touching terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph all wiring connections before removal. Average install time: 15–20 minutes.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed as the direct OEM replacement for Carrier model 09DE098C500. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage printed on your existing capacitor's data label before ordering — substituting an incorrect MFD value will damage the motor. Have questions about fitment?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier 09DE098C500?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier 09DE098C500. 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 09DE098C500?
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.
