OEM Carrier Start Capacitor 175-216 MFD 330V for Model PH4ANG030000BAAA

This is the genuine OEM start capacitor (part number P281-1766) factory-specified for the Carrier PH4ANG030000BAAA heat pump system. The start capacitor delivers a high-torque electrical boost to the compressor motor at the moment of startup, then drops out of the circuit once the motor reaches operating speed. When this capacitor weakens or fails, the compressor struggles to start, draws excessive amperage, or shuts off entirely — often triggering a hard-start fault or tripping a breaker. Replacing it promptly protects your compressor from costly damage.
