OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor & Start Capacitor Kit for Model CA16NA06000GBAAA

This OEM capacitor kit includes both the P291-7073RS Dual Run Capacitor and the P281-1766 Start Capacitor — the factory-specified replacements for the Carrier CA16NA06000GBAAA split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor maintains continuous electrical charge to power both the compressor and condenser fan motor during operation, while the start capacitor delivers the high-torque burst of energy needed to kick the compressor into motion under load. When either component fails, symptoms include a humming condenser with no motor movement, intermittent short-cycling, a compressor that trips on thermal overload, or a fan that spins sluggishly before shutting down entirely.

  • Specs: P291-7073RS — Dual Run Capacitor, round case, 370V/440V rated, ±5% MFD tolerance | P281-1766 — Start Capacitor, high-capacitance boost design; verify exact MFD ratings on your unit's data plate before installing
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are manufactured to Carrier's exact electrical specifications. Aftermarket units commonly ship with ±10% MFD tolerance, which increases heat buildup in the compressor windings, accelerates bearing wear on the condenser fan motor, and shortens overall system lifespan.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge capacitors fully before handling — stored voltage can cause serious injury even with power off. Tools needed: insulated screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter capable of capacitance testing. Photograph all wiring connections before removing any terminals.
  • Warranty: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. Both capacitors ship same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse, packaged to prevent transit damage.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for the Carrier CA16NA06000GBAAA 5-ton split-system condenser. Always cross-reference OEM part numbers P291-7073RS and P281-1766 and confirm voltage and MFD ratings on your unit's data plate before ordering. Not sure about fitment?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier CA16NA06000GBAAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier CA16NA06000GBAAA. 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 CA16NA06000GBAAA?
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.
