The start capacitor provides the high-torque electrical boost needed to bring the compressor up to operating speed on each cycle. When it fails, the compressor will hum and struggle to start — or fail to start entirely — often triggering a system lockout or tripped breaker. A bulging case, burnt smell, or failed multimeter capacitance test are tell-tale signs this part needs replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88–108 MFD (microfarad) | 330V rated | 2.06\" diameter | 4.37\" length | Includes integrated bleed resistor for safe discharge | Round case form factor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a genuine Carrier-sourced OEM capacitor meeting exact factory MFD tolerance specifications. Generic start capacitors often carry wider tolerance bands that can stress the compressor motor windings and shorten equipment life — OEM is always the recommended choice for compressor protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstall Difficulty: 2\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals.
