OEM Carrier Start Capacitor 88-108 MFD 330V for Model PH13NR02400GACAA

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.

• Specs: 88–108 MFD (microfarad) | 330V rated | Includes bleed resistor | Round case | 2.06" diameter × 4.37" height | Factory-matched tolerance
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM Carrier part, manufactured to exact factory tolerances. Generic start capacitors often fall outside the rated MFD window, placing excess mechanical stress on the compressor during every startup cycle and shortening its operational life.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling — stored charge can cause serious injury. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting the old capacitor.
• Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse. Free shipping on qualifying orders.
