OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor & Start Capacitor for Model PH13NR04200GACAA

This OEM-matched capacitor set — dual run capacitor P291-5573RS and start capacitor P281-8806 — is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH13NR04200GACAA 4-ton single-stage R-410A heat pump condenser. The dual run capacitor stores and releases the electrical energy needed to start and sustain both the compressor and condenser fan motor simultaneously. The start capacitor provides the extra torque boost required during compressor start-up under high-load or high-ambient-temperature conditions. When either fails, symptoms include a loud hum with no motor start, compressor short-cycling, tripped breakers, or the system failing to cool or heat altogether.

  • Specs — Dual Run (P291-5573RS): Factory-rated MFD and voltage matched to Carrier PH13NR04200GACAA | 440V round case | ±5% OEM tolerance | Replaces compressor + fan motor capacitor in a single unit
  • Specs — Start Capacitor (P281-8806): High-microfarad short-duty start boost capacitor | Rated for intermittent use | Paired with hard-start relay for maximum compressor longevity
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are manufactured to exact factory MFD tolerances (±5%). Generic aftermarket units frequently run ±10–15% out of spec, placing unnecessary stress on the compressor windings and shortening equipment life — especially critical on R-410A systems operating at higher pressures.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor before handling terminals (use an insulated resistor or discharge tool — never a screwdriver). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring before disconnecting. The start capacitor mounts in-line with the compressor start terminal; confirm relay compatibility before installation.
  • Warranty & Shipping: 1-year OEM factory warranty coverage. Ships same business day from our stocked warehouse — order by 3 PM local time for next-day delivery eligibility.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for Carrier PH13NR04200GACAA 4-ton single-stage R-410A heat pump condensers. Always verify MFD rating, voltage, and terminal configuration against your unit's data plate before installing. Not sure it fits?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PH13NR04200GACAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PH13NR04200GACAA. 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 PH13NR04200GACAA?
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.
