OEM Carrier Start Capacitor 88-108 MFD 330V for Model PH13NA04200GABAA

This is the genuine OEM replacement start capacitor (part number P281-8806) factory-specified for the Carrier PH13NA04200GABAA heat pump. The start capacitor delivers the short, powerful burst of electrical energy needed to bring the compressor up to operating speed. When it fails, the compressor will hum briefly and shut off on thermal overload, or refuse to start altogether — leaving you with no cooling or heating and a system stuck in lockout. Replacing this capacitor is one of the most common and cost-effective HVAC repairs you can perform.

• Specs: 88–108 MFD (microfarad) | 330V rated | 2.06" diameter round case | Includes integrated bleed resistor for safe discharge | OEM part number P281-8806
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier-authorized Totaline® capacitor built to exact factory MFD tolerance (±5%). Generic start capacitors frequently run outside specification, causing repeated hard-start stress on the compressor and shortening its service life significantly.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling, even after power is removed. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph all wiring connections before removing the old capacitor. Note: the label on the capacitor may show the OEM manufacturer's name rather than Carrier — this is normal and does not affect fitment or performance.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed as the factory-direct replacement for Carrier model PH13NA04200GABAA. Always verify the MFD range and voltage rating on your unit's data plate or existing capacitor before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility before you buy — no guesswork required.
