OEM Carrier Start Capacitor 175-216 MFD 330V for Model PH14NA03600GBAAA

This genuine OEM start capacitor (part number P281-1766) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH14NA03600GBAAA heat pump. The start capacitor delivers a high-energy boost charge to the compressor motor at startup, enabling it to overcome initial inertia and reach operating speed. When this component fails, the compressor will typically hum but fail to start, trip the breaker, or the system will simply produce no cooling or heating — leaving you without comfort when you need it most.

• Specs: 175–216 MFD (microfarad) | 330V rated | Round case | Factory-matched capacitance range for precise motor compatibility
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier OEM part — the exact component specified at the factory. Generic start capacitors often fall outside the required MFD tolerance range, risking compressor damage and premature failure. Note: Carrier sources capacitors from select manufacturers; the label on the capacitor will reflect the component manufacturer's name, not Carrier.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power and discharge the capacitor fully before handling. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (to verify discharge). Photograph all wiring connections before removing the old capacitor.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PH14NA03600GBAAA heat pump and other select Carrier, Bryant, and Payne models requiring a 175–216 MFD 330V round start capacitor. Always verify the MFD range and voltage rating on your existing capacitor or unit data plate before ordering. Our team is available to confirm fitment — just reach out before you buy.
