OEM Carrier Start Capacitor 88–108 MFD 330V for Model PH13NR02400GAFAA

This is the genuine OEM start capacitor (Part # P281-8806) factory-specified for the Carrier PH13NR02400GAFAA heat pump. The start capacitor delivers the high-voltage electrical boost required to overcome the compressor's initial inertia and bring it up to running speed. When this component fails, the compressor may hum briefly and shut off, trip a breaker, or refuse to start altogether — leaving your system unable to heat or cool. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores factory-specified starting torque and protects your compressor from repeated hard-start stress.

  • Specs: 88–108 MFD (microfarad) | 330V rated | Includes bleed resistor | 2.06" diameter × 4.37" length | Factory-matched capacitance tolerance
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier-sourced OEM capacitor — rated to exact factory tolerances. Generic start capacitors frequently drift outside acceptable MFD range, causing repeat compressor failures and shortened system life.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting. Verify MFD and voltage ratings against your unit's data plate prior to installation.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed as the direct OEM replacement for the Carrier PH13NR02400GAFAA heat pump. Cross-references include part numbers 1017H, 092A088B330CE7X, 88-108UF, and 1403H. Always confirm MFD range and voltage on your unit's data plate before ordering. Our team is available to verify fitment — contact us before you order if you have any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PH13NR02400GAFAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PH13NR02400GAFAA. 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 PH13NR02400GAFAA?
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.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
Orders placed before 3:00 PM CST ship the same business day. Standard delivery is 2–5 business days anywhere in the continental United States. Express shipping available at checkout. We ship from Houston, TX to all 50 states. 30-day return policy on all parts.
