OEM Carrier Start Capacitor 175-216 MFD 330V for Model PH4ANG036000BCAA

This is the genuine OEM start capacitor (part number P281-1766) factory-specified for the Carrier PH4ANG036000BCAA heat pump. The start capacitor delivers the high-voltage electrical boost needed to get the compressor spinning from a dead stop. Without a functioning start capacitor, the compressor struggles to start, draws excessive current, and will either trip the breaker or fail to run entirely — leaving you with no heating or cooling. If your system hums briefly and shuts off, or the compressor fails to start on the first attempt, a failed start capacitor is one of the most common culprits.

• Specs: 175–216 MFD (microfarad) | 330V rated | Round case | Factory OEM tolerance — matches original equipment exactly
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier OEM part, sourced to factory specifications. Generic start capacitors often fall outside acceptable MFD tolerance ranges, causing hard-start stress on your compressor and shortening its lifespan significantly.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter for pre/post verification. Always photograph existing wiring before disconnecting leads.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders ship same business day from our warehouse when placed before cutoff.
