OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 10 MFD 370V for Model PG8MAA048135ADJA
This is the factory-specified OEM single run capacitor (part number P291-1003) for the Carrier PG8MAA048135ADJA gas furnace. The run capacitor sustains the electrical charge that keeps the indoor blower motor spinning at rated speed. When this component weakens or fails, the blower motor struggles to reach full RPM — symptoms include an audible hum with no airflow, a motor that stalls shortly after startup, or a furnace that trips on high-limit due to insufficient airflow across the heat exchanger.

OEM vs Generic: This OEM Carrier capacitor is manufactured to exact factory tolerances, ensuring the blower motor receives the precise electrical support it was designed for. Generic aftermarket capacitors often carry wider MFD tolerances (±10%), which can cause premature motor wear and reduce blower motor lifespan.
