OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor 35+5 MFD 370V for Model PH13NR018000AEAA

This OEM dual run capacitor (P291-3553RS, superseded by P291-3554RS) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH13NR018000AEAA split-system heat pump condenser. The dual run capacitor serves two motors simultaneously — it stores and delivers the electrical charge needed to start and sustain both the compressor and the condenser fan motor. When this component fails, you'll typically hear a low hum with no motor movement, experience intermittent short-cycling, or find the outdoor unit completely unresponsive. A failed capacitor is one of the most common causes of no-cool and no-heat calls on residential heat pump systems. A companion start capacitor (P281-8806) is also available for this model — consider replacing both during the same service visit to restore full system reliability.

• Specs: 35+5 MFD (microfarad) | 370V rated | Round style case | HERM–C–FAN terminals | Factory-matched ±5% tolerance | Manufactured by GE/Genteq for Carrier
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM part carrying both the Carrier and GE part numbers on the label. OEM capacitors are wound to exact factory tolerance, preventing premature compressor wear and motor overheating that off-brand units can cause over time.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before touching terminals (use a 20kΩ resistor or insulated screwdriver across terminals). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting. Terminals are labeled HERM, C (common), and FAN.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.
