The start capacitor delivers the high-voltage boost required to spin the compressor motor from a dead stop. When this component fails, the compressor typically hums for several seconds and then trips on thermal overload — or refuses to start entirely — leaving your system blowing warm air or shutting down on a hot day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 175–216 MFD (microfarad) | 330V AC rated | Round case | Factory-matched capacitance tolerance for reliable compressor starting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e This genuine Carrier OEM capacitor is manufactured to exact factory specifications.
