OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 15 MFD 370V for Model PH3PPA030000AA

This is the factory-specified OEM single run capacitor for the Carrier PH3PPA030000AA heat pump system. The run capacitor maintains a continuous phase-shifted current to keep the condenser fan motor or compressor running smoothly after startup. When this capacitor weakens or fails, you'll typically notice the unit humming without the motor spinning, the system short-cycling within minutes of startup, or the outdoor unit failing to come on at all — all classic signs of capacitor failure that demand immediate replacement to protect the motor and compressor from burnout.

• Specs: 15 MFD (microfarad) | 370V rated | Oval case | UL-approved current interrupter | Non-PCB dielectric fluid | 50/60 Hz | ±5% factory tolerance
• OEM vs Generic: This OEM-spec capacitor is manufactured to Carrier's exact tolerance requirements. Generic aftermarket capacitors frequently drift beyond ±10% MFD, placing additional strain on motor windings and accelerating compressor wear — a small shortcut that often leads to a much larger repair bill.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals (use an insulated resistor or discharge tool). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance setting). Photograph all wiring connections before removal. Typical job time: 15–30 minutes.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse — most orders placed before 3 PM EST arrive within 1–3 business days.

Compatibility: Designed to fit Carrier model PH3PPA030000AA heat pump systems. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage printed on your existing capacitor's label or the unit's data plate before ordering. Not sure if this is the right part?
