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. Always verify MFD and voltage ratings against your unit's data plate before ordering. Not sure it fits? Our fitment team will verify your model before you check out — same-day shipping on all in-stock orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PH13NR03600GACAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PH13NR03600GACAA. 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 PH13NR03600GACAA?
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.
