OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 15 MFD 370V for Model PH2PPB036000AA

This OEM single run capacitor (part number P291-1503) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH2PPB036000AA heat pump system. The run capacitor provides the continuous phase-shifted current that keeps the condenser fan motor or compressor spinning at full efficiency after startup. A failing run capacitor typically presents as a humming unit that won't start, a motor that labors and overheats, or a system that trips on thermal overload and short-cycles within minutes of operation — all signs that immediate replacement is needed to avoid cascading compressor damage.

  • Specs: 15 MFD (microfarad) | 370V rated | Oval case | 50/60 Hz | Non-PCB dielectric fluid | UL-approved current interrupter | Multiple electrical terminals
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier/Totaline OEM unit manufactured to exact factory tolerance (±5% MFD). Generic capacitors commonly run ±10% or worse, accelerating motor wear and increasing the risk of premature compressor failure on your PH2PPB036000AA.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph all wiring connections before removal. Total job time: 15–30 minutes for most homeowners.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before 3 PM local time.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PH2PPB036000AA heat pump condensing unit. Note: Carrier sources capacitors from third-party manufacturers such as Totaline — the label on the physical capacitor will reflect the component manufacturer's name, not Carrier. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage on your unit's data plate before ordering. Have a fitment question? Our HVAC parts specialists confirm compatibility before you buy — reach out today and ship the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PH2PPB036000AA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PH2PPB036000AA. 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 PH2PPB036000AA?
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.
