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.
