OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PH12NA030000AAAA

This OEM-matched capacitor kit includes both the P291-4573RS Dual Run Capacitor and P281-8806 Start Capacitor — the factory-specified pair for the Carrier PH12NA030000AAAA heat pump. Together, these capacitors store and release the electrical charge required to start and sustain the compressor and condenser fan motor. When either fails, you'll experience symptoms such as a humming condenser that won't start, a compressor that short-cycles within minutes, or a complete failure to cool or heat. Replacing both at the same time is standard field practice — if one has failed, the other is under equal stress.

  • Dual Run Capacitor Specs (P291-4573RS): 45 + 7.5 MFD (microfarad) | 370V rated | Round case | GE Genteq manufactured | Factory ±3% tolerance — powers both the compressor and condenser fan motor simultaneously.
  • Start Capacitor Specs (P281-8806): 88–108 MFD | 330V rated | Includes integrated bleed resistor | Provides the high-torque starting boost the compressor needs under load — critical in hard-start or high-ambient-temperature conditions.
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are manufactured to Carrier's exact factory tolerances and reliability parameters. Generic units often carry ±10% MFD variance, accelerating motor and compressor wear over time. Always match MFD and voltage ratings exactly — never substitute a lower voltage rating.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before touching any terminals (use an insulated resistor or discharge tool). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring before disconnecting. Swap one capacitor at a time to avoid miswiring. If in doubt, call a licensed HVAC technician.
  • Warranty & Shipping: 1-year OEM warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse — order before 3PM for same-day dispatch.

Compatibility: This kit is factory-matched for the Carrier PH12NA030000AAAA heat pump. Always verify the MFD and voltage ratings on your unit's data plate before ordering. Our team is available to confirm fitment — contact us before you order if you have any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PH12NA030000AAAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PH12NA030000AAAA. 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 PH12NA030000AAAA?
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.
