OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor P291-1003 for Model PG8UAA048111ABJA

This OEM single run capacitor (part number P291-1003) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PG8UAA048111ABJA packaged gas/electric unit. The run capacitor maintains the continuous phase-shifted current that keeps the blower or condenser fan motor spinning at rated speed after startup. When a run capacitor degrades or fails, you'll typically notice the motor humming but failing to spin, intermittent short-cycling, reduced airflow, or a system that trips on thermal overload shortly after start.

• Specs: Single run capacitor | Factory-matched MFD and voltage rating | Cylindrical case design | Meets OEM ±3% tolerance for reliable motor operation
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM Carrier part (P291-1003), manufactured to exact factory specifications. Generic aftermarket capacitors often carry ±10% MFD tolerance, which accelerates motor winding wear and shortens overall equipment life.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, insulated screwdriver, multimeter. Photograph existing wiring connections before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.
