OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 15 MFD 370V for Model PH2PPB030000AB

This OEM single run capacitor (part number P291-1503) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH2PPB030000AB heat pump system. The run capacitor provides the continuous phase-shifted current required to keep the condenser fan motor or compressor spinning at full efficiency. When it degrades or fails, you'll typically notice symptoms such as a humming unit that won't start, intermittent hard starts, warm air from your system, or a condenser fan that spins slowly before tripping the breaker. Replacing a weak capacitor promptly protects the motor and compressor from premature burnout.

  • Specs: 15 MFD (microfarad) | 370V rated | Oval case | 50/60 Hz | Non-PCB dielectric fluid | UL-approved current interrupter | ±5% factory tolerance
  • OEM vs Generic: This is the exact OEM Carrier/Totaline-specified capacitor — factory-matched tolerances ensure your motor runs at the correct phase angle. Generic capacitors often carry ±10% MFD tolerances, which accelerates motor winding wear and can shorten compressor life significantly.
  • Install difficulty: 1/5 — One of the easiest HVAC repairs. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated screwdriver, multimeter (to verify discharge). Always discharge the capacitor fully before touching terminals and photograph wiring connections before removal.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before 3 PM local time.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PH2PPB030000AB heat pump system. Note: Carrier sources its capacitors from contracted manufacturers — the label on the capacitor may reflect the manufacturer's name (e.g., Totaline/Genteq) rather than the Carrier brand name; this is normal and expected for genuine OEM parts. Please verify the MFD rating and voltage on your unit's data plate before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PH2PPB030000AB?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PH2PPB030000AB. 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 PH2PPB030000AB?
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?
Orders placed before 3:00 PM CST ship the same business day. Standard delivery is 2–5 business days anywhere in the continental United States. Express shipping available at checkout. We ship from Houston, TX to all 50 states. 30-day return policy on all parts.
