OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PH13NR03600GACAA

This OEM capacitor kit contains both the dual run capacitor (P291-5073RS) and the start capacitor (P281-8806) — the two factory-specified capacitors for the Carrier PH13NR03600GACAA heat pump condenser. The dual run capacitor sustains continuous operation of the compressor and condenser fan motor simultaneously, while the start capacitor provides the extra torque burst needed to kick the compressor into motion on each cycle. When either fails, you may experience a humming unit that won't start, a compressor that short-cycles within minutes, warm air from the system, or a tripped breaker. Replacing both together as a kit is industry best practice — if one has failed, the other is typically near end-of-life.

• Dual Run Capacitor (P291-5073RS): 50 + 7 MFD | 370V rated | Round case | Factory-matched tolerance — sustains compressor and fan motor simultaneously
• Start Capacitor (P281-8806): 88–108 MFD | 330V rated | Includes bleed resistor | Provides compressor start-up torque boost
• OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are manufactured to exact factory tolerances. Generic aftermarket capacitors often run ±10% MFD variance, which accelerates wear on the compressor windings and shortens overall system life. Note: per Carrier, these capacitors are sourced from approved OEM sub-suppliers — labeling will reflect the capacitor manufacturer, not Carrier.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge capacitors before handling using an insulated resistor tool. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph all wiring before disconnecting terminals. Swap one capacitor at a time to avoid wiring errors.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty on both capacitors. Ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered as the OEM replacement capacitor kit for the Carrier PH13NR03600GACAA heat pump condenser.
