OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PH13NR030000AEAA

This OEM capacitor kit includes both the factory-specified dual run capacitor (P291-4573RS) and start capacitor (P281-8806) for the Carrier PH13NR030000AEAA heat pump. The dual run capacitor sustains continuous operation of the compressor and condenser fan motor simultaneously, while the start capacitor delivers the high-torque electrical boost needed to kick-start the compressor under load. When either fails, you'll experience symptoms ranging from a humming condenser with no motor movement, hard-start faults, compressor short-cycling, or a complete no-cool condition — particularly on hot days when starting torque demand is highest.

• Dual Run Capacitor Specs (P291-4573RS): 45+7.5 MFD (microfarad) | 370V rated | Round case | GE Genteq factory-sourced | Superseded by P291-4574RS (fully interchangeable)
• Start Capacitor Specs (P281-8806): 88–108 MFD | 330V rated | Includes built-in bleed resistor | 2.06" diameter | Totaline/OEM factory-sourced
• OEM vs Generic: OEM Carrier capacitors are reliability-tested to 60,000 service hours using high-grade metallized polypropylene film, meeting strict United Technologies tolerances. Generic capacitors typically carry ±10% MFD tolerances versus the tighter OEM spec, which accelerates compressor and fan motor wear over time.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting terminals. The start capacitor cycles out of circuit once the compressor reaches ~75% running speed — do not leave energized.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty on both capacitors. Ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered for Carrier model PH13NR030000AEAA heat pump condensers. Cross-references: HC98JA047, GE 97F9969 (dual run); HC95DD088, HC95DE088 (start). Verify MFD, voltage, and physical dimensions against your unit's data plate before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility before you buy — just reach out!
