OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PH13NR03600GAAAA

This factory-matched capacitor kit includes both the P291-5073RS Dual Run Capacitor and the P281-8806 Start Capacitor — the two OEM-specified capacitors for the Carrier PH13NR03600GAAAA 3-ton heat pump condenser. The dual run capacitor continuously supports both the compressor and condenser fan motor during normal operation, while the start capacitor delivers the short, high-torque burst of current needed to kick the compressor into motion on each cooling or heating cycle. When either component degrades, you may experience a humming condenser that never starts, a compressor that trips on thermal overload, or a system that short-cycles within the first few minutes of operation — all classic capacitor failure signatures.

  • Specs — Dual Run (P291-5073RS): 50 + 7.5 MFD | 370V rated | Round case | ±5% factory tolerance | Replaces HC98JA052
  • Specs — Start Capacitor (P281-8806): 88–108 MFD | 330V rated | Includes bleed resistor | 2.06" diameter × 4.37" length
  • OEM vs Generic: Genuine Carrier OEM capacitors are manufactured to exact factory tolerances. Aftermarket units frequently deviate ±10% MFD, accelerating compressor and fan motor wear and risking premature failure — especially in hard-start conditions common in heat pump applications.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge capacitors before handling — stored voltage can be lethal. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph all wiring terminals before disconnecting. The start capacitor includes a bleed resistor; confirm correct terminal orientation before reinstalling.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered as the OEM replacement for Carrier PH13NR03600GAAAA 3-ton R-410A split-system heat pump condensers. Always verify MFD and voltage ratings against your unit's data plate before installation. Have a question about fitment?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PH13NR03600GAAAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PH13NR03600GAAAA. 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 PH13NR03600GAAAA?
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.
