OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor P291-0753 for Model GA2AAD036071ACJA
This is the factory OEM single run capacitor for the Carrier GA2AAD036071ACJA split-system air conditioner, supplied under OEM part number P291-0753. A single run capacitor provides the continuous electrical charge needed to keep either the compressor or the condenser fan motor running at peak efficiency. When it fails, symptoms include a loud hum with no motor movement, the unit short-cycling shortly after startup, or the system shutting down on a high-pressure or thermal overload fault. Replacing a failed run capacitor promptly prevents secondary damage to the motor windings and compressor.
