OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor 40+5 MFD 370V for Model PY1PNA036080ACBA

This OEM dual run capacitor (Carrier part numbers P291-4053 and cross-reference HC30GB230) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY1PNA036080ACBA packaged unit. The dual run capacitor stores and releases the electrical charge needed to start and sustain both the compressor and the condenser fan motor from a single oval-style housing. A failed capacitor is one of the most common causes of A/C no-start conditions — symptoms include a humming compressor that won't turn over, a fan blade that spins only when manually pushed, or a unit that trips the breaker within seconds of startup.

  • Specs: 40+5 MFD (microfarad) | 370V rated | Oval case | ±6% tolerance | 50/60 Hz | Castor oil protected | AFC 10,000 | Dimensions: 3⅝" H × 3½" L × 1⅞" W
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier OEM capacitor built to factory ±6% MFD tolerance. Generic aftermarket capacitors are often rated at ±10% or wider, which stresses motor windings, shortens compressor life, and can void equipment warranties. OEM is always the safer long-term investment.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling (use a 20kΩ resistor or insulated screwdriver across terminals). Tools needed: ¼" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance mode. Photograph all wire connections before disconnecting. Terminal labels: HERM (compressor), FAN (condenser fan motor), COM (common).
  • Warranty & Shipping: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse. Note: P291-4053 has been superseded by P291-4054 / P291-4054RS — all are direct drop-in replacements with identical ratings.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PY1PNA036080ACBA packaged unit. Cross-references include OEM part numbers P291-4053, P291-4053RS, P291-4054, P291-4054RS, HC30GB230, HC98JA041, HC98KA041, and GE Genteq 97F9689. Always 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 — just reach out!

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PY1PNA036080ACBA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PY1PNA036080ACBA. 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 PY1PNA036080ACBA?
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.
