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.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PH13NR04800GACAA heat pump system. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage on your unit's data plate before ordering to ensure an exact match. Cross-reference part numbers include: 1017H, 092A088B330CE7X, 88-108UF, 1403H. Have questions about fitment?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PH13NR04800GACAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PH13NR04800GACAA. 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 PH13NR04800GACAA?
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?
