OEM Carrier Start Capacitor 88-108 MFD 330V for Model PH13NR024000AFAA

This is the factory-specified OEM start capacitor (part number P281-8806) for the Carrier PH13NR024000AFAA heat pump. The start capacitor delivers the high-voltage electrical boost required to get the compressor spinning from a dead stop. Without a functioning start capacitor, the compressor will hum, trip on overload, or fail to start entirely — leaving you with a system that runs the fan but produces no cooling or heating. If your unit attempts to start and clicks off within seconds, or you hear a single low hum at startup, this capacitor is the most common culprit.

• Specs: 88–108 MFD (microfarad) | 330V rated | Round case — 2.06" diameter × 4.37" length | Includes bleed resistor for safe, automatic discharge
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier/Totaline OEM part meeting exact factory MFD tolerance (±5%). Off-brand start capacitors frequently fall outside spec, causing repeated compressor hard-start stress and shortened system life.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling — even with the bleed resistor, confirm zero voltage with a multimeter. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before removal.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders placed today ship same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered as a direct OEM replacement for the Carrier PH13NR024000AFAA heat pump.
