OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 30 MFD 440V for Model 09DE146500

This OEM Totaline single run capacitor (P291-3004) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier 09DE146500. The run capacitor provides the continuous phase-shifted voltage needed to keep the condenser fan motor or compressor spinning efficiently after startup. A failing run capacitor is one of the most common HVAC faults — symptoms include a loud hum with no motor movement, intermittent short-cycling, or a unit that trips the breaker shortly after starting.

• Specs: 30 MFD (microfarad) | 440V rated | Oval case | ±6% factory tolerance | 50/60 Hz | Non-PCB dielectric fluid
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Totaline/Carrier OEM capacitor — the same part shipped in new equipment. Generic aftermarket capacitors often carry ±10% MFD tolerance, which accelerates motor winding stress and shortens compressor life over time.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before removing any wiring. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, multimeter (to verify discharge). Photograph or label all terminal connections before disconnecting the old capacitor.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.

Compatibility: Direct OEM replacement for Carrier model 09DE146500. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage stamped on your existing capacitor's label before ordering — substituting an incorrect MFD value will damage the motor. Questions about fitment?
