OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor P291-1003 for Model GB1AAV048075AAJA
This is the factory-specified OEM single run capacitor (part number P291-1003) for the Carrier GB1AAV048075AAJA packaged gas/electric unit. A run capacitor maintains a continuous phase-shifted current to keep a single motor — typically the condenser fan or blower motor — running at peak efficiency. When this capacitor fails, you'll notice symptoms such as a humming motor that won't spin up, intermittent shutdowns due to motor overload, or a complete no-start condition on the affected motor circuit.
