What MFD capacitor do I need for my Carrier AC?

The correct replacement for Carrier model PG8UAA060155ACJA is this exact part. It is the factory-specified replacement with exact OEM specifications. Using a part with different specifications can cause equipment damage or void your warranty. You can verify this by checking the data plate on your Carrier equipment which lists the model number PG8UAA060155ACJA.

My AC hums but will not start. What part do I need?

An AC that hums but will not start is the classic symptom of a failed capacitor. The capacitor provides the electrical boost needed to start the compressor and fan motors. When it fails, you hear the hum of the motor trying to start but it cannot overcome inertia. Other symptoms include the fan spinning slowly, the AC cycling on and off rapidly, or a visibly swollen or leaking capacitor. Replacement cost: $15 to $80 for the part, DIY in 30 minutes.

Is this capacitor compatible with Bryant or Payne systems too?

Many Carrier parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne systems since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across multiple brand labels with different model numbers. To verify cross-compatibility, check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or contact info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number for confirmation.

OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 10 MFD 370V for Model PG8UAA060155ACJA

This OEM single run capacitor is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PG8UAA060155ACJA gas furnace. The run capacitor maintains the continuous phase-shifted current that keeps the blower motor spinning at full speed during operation. When this capacitor degrades or fails, you'll typically notice the blower motor humming but not starting, the motor running sluggishly, short-cycling, or the furnace shutting down on a limit trip caused by reduced airflow. Replacing it promptly prevents secondary damage to the blower motor windings.

Specs: 10 MFD (microfarad) | 370V rated | Oval case | Factory-matched ±6% tolerance | 50/60 Hz | 10,000 AFC protected | Non-PCB dielectric fluid
OEM vs Generic: This OEM-spec capacitor is built to Carrier's exact tolerance requirements. Generic units often ship at ±10% MFD tolerance, which can accelerate motor wear, increase amp draw, and shorten blower motor life — especially in always-running ECM and PSC blower applications.
Install difficulty: 2/5 — Discharge the capacitor fully before touching any terminals (use a 20kΩ resistor across the terminals or a dedicated capacitor discharge tool). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance mode. Always photograph your wiring before disconnecting the old capacitor.
Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Ships same business day from our warehouse — order by 3 PM local time for same-day dispatch.

Compatibility: Directly fits Carrier model PG8UAA060155ACJA packaged gas furnace units specifying a 10 MFD 370V single oval run capacitor (OEM part number P291-1003). Verify the MFD rating and voltage on your unit's data plate before ordering. Have questions about fitment? Our HVAC parts specialists verify compatibility before you buy — reach out and we'll confirm.

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PG8UAA060155ACJA. 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 PG8UAA060155ACJA?

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.
