OEM Carrier Start Capacitor 88-108 MFD 330V for Model PH13NA024000ABAA

This is the genuine OEM Carrier start capacitor (part number P281-8806), factory-specified for the Carrier PH13NA024000ABAA heat pump. The start capacitor delivers the high-torque electrical boost required to cycle the compressor on at startup. Without a functioning start capacitor, the compressor may hum and fail to start, draw excessive amperage, trip a breaker, or short-cycle — all signs that this component needs immediate replacement.

• Specs: 88–108 MFD (microfarad) range | 330V rated | Includes integrated bleed resistor | Round case — 2.06" diameter × 4.37" length | Factory-matched tolerance
• OEM vs Generic: This is the genuine Carrier-sourced capacitor meeting exact factory MFD and voltage tolerances. Generic capacitors often carry a wider tolerance band (±10% or more), placing additional stress on your compressor at every startup and shortening equipment life.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals (use a resistor or insulated screwdriver). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Always photograph all wiring connections before removal.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Ships same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse. Orders placed before cutoff time go out today.

Compatibility: Designed as a direct OEM replacement for the Carrier PH13NA024000ABAA heat pump. Before ordering, confirm your existing capacitor's MFD range and voltage rating from the unit data plate or old capacitor label. Cross-references include HC95DD088, HC95DE088, 38GK52747D1, 301023-101, and 300749-101. Have questions about fitment?
