OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor P291-1003 for Model KMABA03013TE

This OEM single run capacitor (part number P291-1003) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier KMABA03013TE. A single run capacitor provides continuous electrical energy to keep a single motor — typically the condenser fan motor or compressor — running efficiently after startup. When this capacitor degrades or fails, symptoms include a humming sound with no motor movement, intermittent shutdowns, sluggish motor startup, or a complete failure to run. Replacing it promptly prevents costly compressor or motor damage downstream.

  • Specs: Single run capacitor | Factory-matched MFD rating | 370V/440V rated | Round case design | ±5% OEM tolerance for precise motor performance
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM Carrier part, manufactured to exact factory specifications. Generic capacitors frequently ship with ±10% or wider MFD tolerances, which accelerates motor winding wear and can shorten compressor life significantly over time.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals (use an insulated resistor or discharge tool). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter to verify capacitance. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting to ensure correct reassembly.
  • Warranty: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders placed before cutoff ship the same business day from our stocked warehouse — no waiting on backorders.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Carrier KMABA03013TE. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage on your unit's data plate or existing capacitor before ordering to confirm an exact match.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier KMABA03013TE?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier KMABA03013TE. 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 KMABA03013TE?
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.
