OEM Carrier Dual Run & Start Capacitor Kit for Model CA16NA06100GBAAA

This OEM-matched capacitor kit includes both the dual run capacitor (P291-7073RS) and the start capacitor (P281-1766) factory-specified for the Carrier CA16NA06100GBAAA 5-ton single-stage R-410A split-system condenser. The dual run capacitor continuously supports both the compressor and condenser fan motor during operation, while the start capacitor delivers the high-torque surge needed to kick the compressor into motion under load. When either fails, symptoms include a loud hum with no motor movement, a compressor that trips the overload protector within seconds, or a condenser fan that spins only when manually assisted. Replacing both together is standard practice — if one has failed, the other is typically near end-of-life as well.

  • Specs: P291-7073RS Dual Run Capacitor — round case, 370V/440V rated, factory MFD tolerance ±3% | P281-1766 Start Capacitor — high-capacitance boost, matched to CA16NA06100GBAAA compressor specifications
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are manufactured to exact factory tolerances. Aftermarket units commonly drift ±10% MFD, increasing amp draw, accelerating compressor wear, and voiding equipment warranties on newer systems.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge capacitors fully before handling — stored voltage can exceed 300V after shutdown. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance mode. Photograph all wiring connections before removal.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty on both capacitors. Orders placed before cutoff ship the same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Carrier CA16NA06100GBAAA 5-ton condensing unit. Always verify MFD, voltage ratings, and terminal configuration against your unit's data plate before installation. Not sure about fitment? Our HVAC parts specialists confirm compatibility before you order — no guesswork, no return hassle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier CA16NA06100GBAAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier CA16NA06100GBAAA. 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 CA16NA06100GBAAA?
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.
