OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor P291-2503 for Model PH1REA060000AAWA

This OEM single run capacitor (part number P291-2503) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH1REA060000AAWA packaged heat pump unit. A run capacitor provides the continuous phase-shifted current needed to keep a single motor — typically the condenser fan or blower motor — spinning efficiently under load. When this capacitor degrades or fails, you'll notice symptoms such as a loud humming noise with no motor movement, the motor struggling to start, the system tripping on thermal overload, or the unit short-cycling due to overheating caused by a sluggish motor.

• Specs: Single run capacitor | Factory-matched MFD rating and voltage | Cylindrical/oval case per OEM spec | Meets original ±5% tolerance for reliable motor performance
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM Carrier part — engineered to exact factory tolerances. Aftermarket capacitors frequently deviate ±10–15% in microfarad rating, placing added thermal stress on motor windings and dramatically shortening equipment life.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power at the breaker and discharge the capacitor fully before touching any terminals (use an insulated resistor or discharge tool). Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter to confirm discharge. Photograph all wiring connections before removal.
• Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In stock and ships same business day when ordered before cutoff.

Compatibility: Designed and tested for the Carrier PH1REA060000AAWA 5-ton packaged heat pump. Always cross-reference the MFD rating and voltage stamped on your original capacitor's label with the data plate on your unit before completing your order. Not sure it fits?
