What MFD capacitor do I need for my Carrier AC?

The correct replacement for Carrier model PH12NA060000ABAA is this exact part. It is the factory-specified replacement with exact OEM specifications. Using a part with different specifications can cause equipment damage or void your warranty. You can verify this by checking the data plate on your Carrier equipment which lists the model number PH12NA060000ABAA.

My AC hums but will not start. What part do I need?

An AC that hums but will not start is the classic symptom of a failed capacitor. The capacitor provides the electrical boost needed to start the compressor and fan motors. When it fails, you hear the hum of the motor trying to start but it cannot overcome inertia. Other symptoms include the fan spinning slowly, the AC cycling on and off rapidly, or a visibly swollen or leaking capacitor. Replacement cost: $15 to $80 for the part, DIY in 30 minutes.

Is this capacitor compatible with Bryant or Payne systems too?

Many Carrier parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne systems since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across multiple brand labels with different model numbers. To verify cross-compatibility, check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or contact info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number for confirmation.

OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor Replacement for PH12NA060000ABAA

The run capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to give your Carrier compressor and outdoor fan motor the running torque they need to operate smoothly. In a dual capacitor, one can supports both the compressor (HERM) and the fan (FAN). As it degrades, the warning signs stack up: a fan or compressor that hums without starting, a blade that needs a hand-spin, hard starts, repeated breaker trips, and a climbing electric bill as the motors pull more amps than they should. A domed or oil-stained top means it's already done. This is an OEM-spec dual run capacitor for the PH12NA060000ABAA, built to the factory MFD rating (commonly 45/5 MFD across HERM, FAN, and C terminals) and 440VAC, and held to the OEM ±5% capacitance tolerance. Confirm the MFD and voltage printed on your existing capacitor before you order. Why OEM matters: discount capacitors typically ship with a sloppy ±10–15% tolerance and are often only 370VAC rated. A unit measuring low on capacitance can't deliver the phase shift the compressor windings need, so they draw heavy current far longer than intended — the number-one cause of compressor burnout. The tight OEM tolerance and full 440V rating protect your system's costliest component and run cooler over their service life. Install difficulty: 2 of 5. Tools: a 1/4" nut driver, a multimeter with a capacitance setting, and an insulated screwdriver. #1 safety warning: capacitors hold a lethal charge — after killing the breaker, discharge each terminal pair by shorting with an insulated screwdriver before removing any wires. Snap a photo of the wiring first. Ships same business day from our stocked warehouse on orders placed before 3 PM CST. Backed by a 1-year OEM warranty and 30-day hassle-free returns on uninstalled parts.

Compatibility

This part is compatible with Carrier model PH12NA060000ABAA. Always verify the part number against your unit's data plate before ordering.

Why Choose OEM?

OEM parts are manufactured to the exact factory specifications for your unit. Generic aftermarket alternatives may fit physically but often use lower-rated components that reduce equipment life and void manufacturer warranties. When the cost difference between OEM and generic is $10-30, the OEM part is always the smarter investment on a system worth $5,000-$15,000.

Shipping & Returns

Same-day shipping on orders before 3 PM CST. Standard delivery 2-5 business days, express options available at checkout. 30-day hassle-free returns on uninstalled parts — free return shipping included. 1-year OEM factory warranty coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PH12NA060000ABAA?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PH12NA060000ABAA. 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 PH12NA060000ABAA?

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?
