OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PH13NR048000AFAA

This factory-matched OEM capacitor kit contains both the dual run capacitor (P291-6054R) and start capacitor (P281-8806) specified for the Carrier PH13NR048000AFAA heat pump condenser. The dual run capacitor continuously supports both the compressor and condenser fan motor during operation, while the start capacitor delivers the extra torque burst needed to bring the compressor online. When either component fails, you'll typically experience symptoms like a humming unit that won't start, a compressor that short-cycles within minutes, or a tripped breaker caused by a locked-rotor condition on the compressor.

  • Dual Run Capacitor Specs (P291-6054R): 60+5 MFD | 440V | Round case | ±6% tolerance | AFC 10,000 | Castor Oil protected | No-PCB | Operating range -40°C to 70°C | 50/60 Hz
  • Start Capacitor Specs (P281-8806): 88–108 MFD | 330V | Includes integrated bleed resistor | 2.06" diameter × 4.37" height | Factory-matched Totaline/Carrier specification
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are manufactured to exact factory tolerances. Generic units commonly run ±10% MFD variance, which accelerates compressor wear, shortens motor life, and can void equipment warranties. Note: Carrier sources capacitors from approved manufacturers — the label on the can will reflect the OEM supplier name, not Carrier.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge both capacitors fully before touching terminals (use a resistor or insulated screwdriver). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter set to capacitance. Photograph all wiring connections before removing terminals. The start capacitor mounts in a bracket near the compressor; the dual run is typically mounted to the unit's panel.
  • Warranty & Shipping: 1-year OEM factory warranty on both components. In stock — ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: This kit is the OEM-specified replacement for Carrier PH13NR048000AFAA heat pump condensers. Always verify MFD ratings and voltage against your unit's data plate before ordering. Replacing both capacitors together during a single service visit is strongly recommended — when one fails, the other is typically near end-of-life. Our parts specialists are available to confirm fitment before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PH13NR048000AFAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PH13NR048000AFAA. 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 PH13NR048000AFAA?
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.
