OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor P291-4573RS & Start Capacitor P281-8806 for Model PH13NR03000GAFAA

This factory-matched OEM capacitor set — comprising the P291-4573RS Dual Run Capacitor and the P281-8806 Start Capacitor — is the manufacturer-specified replacement for the Carrier PH13NR03000GAFAA split-system heat pump condenser. The dual run capacitor continuously powers both the compressor and the condenser fan motor, while the start capacitor delivers the extra torque burst needed to bring the compressor up to operating speed under load. When either component degrades, you'll typically experience symptoms such as a humming condenser that won't start, a compressor that short-cycles after a few minutes of operation, a condenser fan that spins slowly or not at all, or hard-start trips on the circuit breaker.

  • OEM Part Numbers: P291-4573RS (Dual Run Capacitor) | P281-8806 (Start Capacitor) — factory-direct components engineered to exact Carrier tolerances for the PH13NR03000GAFAA platform.
  • OEM vs. Generic: OEM capacitors are manufactured to ±5% MFD tolerance as required by Carrier. Generic alternatives commonly run ±10–15%, increasing stress on the compressor windings and condenser fan motor bearings, shortening system life and potentially voiding equipment warranties.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect and lock out power before servicing. Capacitors store a lethal charge even with power off — discharge all terminals with an insulated resistor before handling. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph all wiring before disconnecting. Most technicians complete this repair in under 30 minutes.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse — get your system back up and running fast.

Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Carrier PH13NR03000GAFAA heat pump condenser. Always verify MFD, voltage rating, and terminal configuration against your unit's data plate before ordering. Not sure if this fits your system?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PH13NR03000GAFAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PH13NR03000GAFAA. 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 PH13NR03000GAFAA?
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.
