OEM Carrier Start Capacitor 88-108 MFD 330V for Model PH12NA024000ACAA

This is the genuine OEM factory-specified start capacitor (part number P281-8806) for the Carrier PH12NA024000ACAA heat pump system. The start capacitor delivers the high-voltage surge of electrical energy needed to kick the compressor into motion at startup. Once the compressor reaches operating speed, the start capacitor discharges and drops out of the circuit. When this capacitor fails, the compressor will hum but fail to start, repeatedly trip the breaker, or the system will lock out entirely — leaving you without cooling or heating.

• Specs: 88–108 MFD (microfarad) | 330V rated | 2.06" diameter × 4.37" length | Round case with bleed resistor | Factory ±5% tolerance
• OEM vs Generic: This is the genuine Carrier Totaline-sourced OEM capacitor. Generic alternatives often fall outside MFD tolerance, putting extra strain on the compressor at every startup cycle and significantly reducing compressor lifespan.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling — it retains lethal voltage after power is cut. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting the old capacitor.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.
