OEM Carrier Start Capacitor 88-108 MFD 330V for Model PH11JA024000AAAA

This is the genuine OEM Carrier start capacitor (part number P281-8806), the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH11JA024000AAAA heat pump. The start capacitor provides the high-torque electrical kick needed to cycle the compressor on at startup. When this component fails, the compressor will typically hum and struggle to start — or fail to start entirely — triggering a system lockout or short-cycling. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores factory-rated startup performance and protects your compressor from the stress of repeated failed start attempts.

  • Specs: 88–108 MFD (microfarad) | 330V rated | 2.06" diameter × 4.37" length | Round case with integrated bleed resistor | Factory-matched tolerance
  • OEM vs Generic: This genuine Carrier/Totaline OEM unit is manufactured to exact factory specifications. Generic start capacitors often carry wider MFD tolerance ranges, which can cause sluggish compressor starts and accelerated wear over time.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power and discharge the capacitor fully before handling. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (to verify charge dissipation). Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting the old capacitor.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Confirmed fit for Carrier model PH11JA024000AAAA heat pump. Verify MFD range and voltage on your unit's data plate before ordering — a mismatched start capacitor can damage the compressor. Cross-references: HC95DD088, HC95DE088, 38GK52747D1, 301023-101, 300749-101. Have a fitment question? Our HVAC parts specialists verify compatibility before you order — reach out before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PH11JA024000AAAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PH11JA024000AAAA. 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 PH11JA024000AAAA?
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?
