OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor P291-1503 for Model PG8MAA048070ACJA

This OEM single run capacitor is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PG8MAA048070ACJA gas furnace. The single run capacitor maintains a continuous phase-shifted current to keep the blower motor running efficiently at full speed after startup. When this capacitor begins to fail, you'll typically notice symptoms such as the blower motor humming without spinning, sluggish or slow-starting blower operation, intermittent shutdowns due to overheating, or increased energy consumption as the motor struggles under electrical stress.

  • Specs: OEM Part Number P291-1503 | Single Run Capacitor | Factory-matched MFD and voltage ratings | Engineered to Carrier's exact tolerance specifications for the PG8MAA048070ACJA platform
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM Carrier capacitor, manufactured to precise ±5% or tighter MFD tolerance. Aftermarket alternatives often run ±10% or worse, causing accelerated motor winding wear, premature bearing failure, and shortened blower motor life — ultimately costing more in the long run.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — A straightforward swap for a qualified technician or experienced DIYer. Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling terminals. Recommended tools: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode), and insulated discharge resistor. Photograph all wiring connections before removal.
  • Warranty: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Orders placed before cutoff ship same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed as a direct OEM replacement for the Carrier PG8MAA048070ACJA packaged gas furnace. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage printed on your existing capacitor's label or the unit's data plate before ordering. Not sure if this is the right part?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PG8MAA048070ACJA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PG8MAA048070ACJA. 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 PG8MAA048070ACJA?
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.
