OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 15 MFD 370V for Model PG8JAA048070ABJA

This OEM single run capacitor (Carrier part P291-1503) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PG8JAA048070ABJA packaged gas/electric unit. The run capacitor stores and releases the electrical charge needed to keep the blower or fan motor running at full torque and efficiency. When this capacitor weakens or fails, you'll notice symptoms such as the motor humming but not starting, the unit shutting down shortly after startup, or a warm air supply caused by reduced airflow — all classic signs of capacitor failure in a packaged unit.

  • Specs: 15 MFD (microfarad) | 370V rated | Oval case | 50/60 Hz | UL-approved current interrupter | Non-PCB dielectric fluid | ±5% factory tolerance
  • OEM vs Generic: This OEM-spec capacitor is manufactured to Carrier's exact tolerance requirements. Generic off-brand capacitors frequently ship at ±10% MFD tolerance, leading to accelerated motor wear, increased amperage draw, and shortened motor life — costing far more in the long run than the price difference at purchase.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter for post-install verification. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting to ensure correct reassembly.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before 3 PM local time.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PG8JAA048070ABJA packaged gas/electric unit. Please verify the MFD rating and voltage stamped on your original capacitor's data label before ordering to confirm an exact match. Note: Carrier sources capacitors from select OEM manufacturers — the label on the capacitor body may reflect the capacitor manufacturer's name rather than Carrier. Have questions about fitment? Our HVAC parts specialists verify compatibility before every order — contact us before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PG8JAA048070ABJA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PG8JAA048070ABJA. 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 PG8JAA048070ABJA?
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.
