What MFD capacitor do I need for my Carrier AC?

The correct replacement for Carrier model PH13NA060000ABAA Heat Pump 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 PH13NA060000ABAA Heat Pump.

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 440V Dual Run Capacitor for PH13NA060000ABAA Heat Pump

The run capacitor stores and releases the electrical charge that keeps your Carrier PH13NA060000ABAA heat pump's compressor and outdoor fan motor running. It provides the starting boost and the continuous torque both motors rely on. When it degrades or fails, the outdoor unit will typically hum without the fan spinning, the compressor will click and trip on overload, the system will short-cycle, or the breaker will trip. A swollen, domed, or oil-leaking top confirms the capacitor has failed. This is a dual-round run capacitor rated for 440 VAC, carrying both the HERM (compressor) and FAN terminals on one can. OEM capacitors are manufactured to a tight ±5% tolerance on their rated MFD values, delivering precisely the capacitance Carrier specified for each motor. Match the µF rating printed on your existing cap (commonly 35/5 or 45/5 MFD) and use a 440V or higher rated replacement. Why OEM matters here: the capacitor is the cheap part that protects the compressor, the most expensive part in the system. Generic caps frequently drift to ±10-15% tolerance, supplying the wrong capacitance and forcing the compressor windings to run hot and draw excess current — quietly cutting years off the compressor's life. An OEM cap holds its rating reliably. Install difficulty: 2/5. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, a multimeter with a capacitance setting, and a photo of the wiring beforehand. #1 safety warning: a capacitor can hold a lethal charge even after power is off — shut off the breaker AND discharge the cap across its terminals with an insulated screwdriver before touching anything. 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 PH13NA060000ABAA. 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 PH13NA060000ABAA Heat Pump?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PH13NA060000ABAA Heat Pump. 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 PH13NA060000ABAA Heat Pump?

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.
