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.
