OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor for Model PG8DAA036070AAJA (P291-0753)

This OEM single run capacitor is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PG8DAA036070AAJA packaged gas unit. The run capacitor maintains a continuous phase-shifted current to keep the blower or condenser fan motor running at peak efficiency after start-up. When this capacitor degrades or fails, the motor it serves may hum without turning, run sluggishly, draw excess amperage, or cause the unit to trip on thermal overload — all signs it's time for an immediate replacement.

• Specs: Single run capacitor | Factory-matched MFD rating | 370V/440V rated | Round case | OEM tolerance ±3% for precise motor protection
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM Carrier part (P291-0753), manufactured to exact factory specifications. Generic alternatives commonly run ±10% MFD tolerance, which accelerates motor winding wear, reduces efficiency, and can shorten compressor or fan motor lifespan significantly.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before removing any terminals (use an insulated resistor or discharge tool). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter for post-install verification. Photograph all terminal connections before disconnecting the old unit.
• Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before the daily cutoff.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PG8DAA036070AAJA packaged gas/electric unit. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage stamped on your existing capacitor's label or the unit's data plate before ordering to confirm exact fitment. Not sure? Our HVAC parts specialists are available to verify compatibility before you buy — no guesswork needed.
