OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor 30+5 MFD 370V for Model PH1PNA018000AABA
This factory-authorized OEM dual run capacitor is the direct replacement for the Carrier PH1PNA018000AABA and compatible Carrier, Bryant, and Payne systems. Manufactured by GE/Genteq exclusively for Carrier, this capacitor stores and releases the electrical charge required to start and sustain both the compressor and the condenser fan motor simultaneously. When a dual run capacitor fails, symptoms include a loud humming with no motor movement, the condenser fan spinning only when manually assisted, or the system tripping the breaker within seconds of startup.

OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier/Totaline OEM part (P/N P291-3053RS), manufactured by GE/Genteq to United Technologies reliability standards — tested to 60,000 service hours. Generic aftermarket units often run ±6–10% MFD tolerance, which accelerates motor wear and shortens compressor life. Also cross-references: P291-3053, HC98JA031, HV98JC030, HC98CA031, HC98CA030, GE/Genteq 97F9833 / 27L877.

Warranty & Shipping: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse. Note: capacitor contains liquid dielectric — ground shipment only.
Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PH1PNA018000AABA and applicable Carrier, Bryant, and Payne split-system condensers and heat pumps specifying a 30+5 MFD 370V round dual run capacitor. A companion single run capacitor P291-1003 is also available for systems requiring a separate run capacitor. Always verify MFD rating and voltage on your unit's data plate before ordering. Our team is available to confirm fitment prior to purchase — just ask.
