What MFD capacitor do I need for my Carrier AC?

The correct replacement for Carrier model PG9MAA048060ADKA 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 PG9MAA048060ADKA.

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 3 MFD 250V for Model PG9MAA048060ADKA

This factory-genuine OEM single run capacitor (part# HC91PD001 / P291-1003) is the direct replacement for the draft inducer motor in your Carrier PG9MAA048060ADKA gas furnace. The run capacitor stores and delivers the precise electrical charge required to start and sustain the inducer motor through every heating cycle. When this component fails, you may notice the inducer motor humming without spinning, running hot and shutting down on thermal overload, or the furnace locking out entirely before the ignition sequence can begin — leaving you without heat.

Specs: 3 MFD (microfarad) | 250 VAC rated | Rectangular case | Factory ±5% tolerance | Replaces ShiZuki CMKS-X345
OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier factory part — not an aftermarket substitute. Generic capacitors often deviate ±10–15% from rated MFD, placing undue stress on the inducer motor windings and shortening component life.
Install difficulty: 2/5 — Discharge the capacitor fully before touching any terminals. Tools needed: flat-head and Phillips screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Always photograph existing wiring before disconnecting leads. Capacitor is located in the inducer motor compartment.
Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Orders placed before cutoff ship same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered for the Carrier PG9MAA048060ADKA gas furnace and cross-references OEM part numbers HC91PD001 and P291-1003. Also fits a wide range of Carrier, Bryant, and Payne furnaces sharing the same inducer motor assembly — confirm the 3 MFD / 250V rating on your existing capacitor's data label before ordering. Questions about fitment? Our HVAC parts specialists verify compatibility before every order.

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PG9MAA048060ADKA. 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 PG9MAA048060ADKA?

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.
