OEM Carrier Start Capacitor 88-108 MFD 330V for Model PH13NR03000GAHAA

This is the factory OEM start capacitor (part number P281-8806) for the Carrier PH13NR03000GAHAA heat pump system. The start capacitor delivers a high-voltage burst of electrical energy to kick the compressor motor into rotation at startup. Without a functioning start capacitor, the compressor will hum, draw excessive amperage, and fail to start — often triggering thermal overload protection or a system lockout within seconds of the call for cooling or heating.

• Specs: 88–108 MFD (microfarad) | 330V rated | Includes integrated bleed resistor | 2.06" diameter × 4.37" length | Factory-spec tolerance
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier OEM part (P281-8806) sourced through Carrier's authorized Totaline parts network. Note: Carrier sources capacitors from third-party capacitor manufacturers — the label on the component will reflect the OEM capacitor maker, not Carrier. This is normal and expected for this part.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Always photograph existing wiring before disconnecting. Replace only with same MFD range and voltage rating.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PH13NR03000GAHAA heat pump. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage on your unit's data plate or existing capacitor before ordering. Cross-reference part numbers include: 1017H, 092A088B330CE7X, 88-108UF, and 1403H. Our team is available to confirm fitment before you order — don't guess on capacitor specs.
