This OEM start capacitor (part number P281-8806) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH13NR02400GACAA heat pump. The start capacitor provides the high-torque electrical boost the compressor motor needs during startup. Without a functioning start capacitor, you'll typically experience a hard-starting or humming compressor, nuisance tripped breakers, or a compressor that attempts to start and immediately shuts down. A failed or weak start capacitor is one of the most common causes of heat pump no-cooling and no-heating service calls.
Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PH13NR02400GACAA heat pump. Also cross-references part numbers HC95DD088, HC95DE088, 38GK52747D1, 301023-101, and 300749-101. Always verify MFD rating and voltage against your unit's data plate before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility before you buy.
