OEM Carrier Start Capacitor 88-108 MFD 330V for Model PH12NA024000ADAA

This is the genuine OEM start capacitor (Part #P281-8806) factory-specified for the Carrier PH12NA024000ADAA heat pump system. The start capacitor delivers the high-torque electrical boost needed to kick the compressor into motion on every cooling or heating cycle. Without a functioning start capacitor, the compressor will hum under load but fail to turn over — causing the system to trip on thermal overload or lock out entirely. If your Carrier unit is failing to start, short-cycling, or tripping the breaker repeatedly, a failed start capacitor is one of the first components to test.

  • Specs: 88–108 MFD (microfarad) | 330V rated | Round case — 2.06" diameter × 4.37" length | Includes integrated bleed resistor for safe discharge | 50/60 Hz compatible
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier-sourced OEM capacitor manufactured to exact factory MFD tolerance. Generic start capacitors can drift outside the rated MFD range, causing hard-start stress on your compressor and significantly shortening its service life.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling (the bleed resistor assists, but verify with a multimeter). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter set to capacitance. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting terminals.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Orders ship same business day from our stocked warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PH12NA024000ADAA heat pump. Cross-reference part numbers: P281-8806, 1017H, 092A088B330CE7X, 88-108UF, 1403H. Always verify MFD rating and voltage against your unit's data plate before ordering. Have a fitment question?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PH12NA024000ADAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PH12NA024000ADAA. 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 PH12NA024000ADAA?
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.
