The start capacitor delivers a powerful burst of electrical energy to kick-start the compressor motor. Without a functioning start capacitor, the compressor struggles to overcome initial load and will either hum without starting, trip the breaker, or cause the unit to short-cycle. If your Carrier heat pump fails to cool or heat and the compressor motor makes a low hum before shutting off, a failed start capacitor is one of the most common culprits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88–108 MFD (microfarad) | 330V rated | Round case, 2.06\" diameter × 4.37\" | Includes integrated bleed resistor for safe discharge | Factory tolerance ±10% MFD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a genuine Carrier OEM part — factory-matched to exact voltage and capacitance range. Generic start capacitors often drift outside rated MFD, placing additional stress on the compressor motor windings and shortening compressor life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstall Difficulty: 2\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling. Tools needed: 1\/4\" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph all terminal wiring before disconnecting. The bleed resistor handles passive discharge, but verify with a meter before touching leads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty \u0026amp; Shipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects.
