OEM Carrier Start Capacitor 88-108 MFD 330V for Model PH13NR04800GACAA

This OEM start capacitor (part number P281-8806) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH13NR04800GACAA heat pump condenser. The start capacitor delivers the high-torque electrical kick the compressor needs to begin each cooling or heating cycle. When this component fails, the compressor will typically hum and trip on thermal overload — or simply refuse to start altogether — leaving you with no heating or cooling output. Replacing it promptly prevents compressor burnout, the most expensive repair in any refrigeration system.

• Specs: 88–108 MFD (microfarad) | 330V rated | Round case: 2.06" diameter × 4.37" | Includes integrated bleed resistor for safe, automatic discharge
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier/Totaline OEM capacitor sourced through the factory supply chain. OEM units maintain tighter MFD tolerance than aftermarket alternatives, protecting compressor windings and extending service life.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — The bleed resistor safely discharges stored energy, but always verify discharge with a multimeter before handling terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting.
