OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor P291-1013 for Model PY1REA120224ABWA

This OEM dual run capacitor (part number P291-1013) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY1REA120224ABWA packaged unit. The dual run capacitor stores and releases the electrical charge required to start and sustain both the compressor and the condenser fan motor simultaneously from a single component. When this capacitor begins to fail, common symptoms include a loud humming with no motor movement, the compressor attempting to start and immediately tripping on thermal overload, or the system short-cycling within minutes of startup. Left unaddressed, a weak capacitor accelerates wear on the compressor windings and fan motor bearings — making prompt replacement critical.

• OEM Part Numbers: P291-1013 (Dual Run Capacitor) | P291-0403 (Single Run Capacitor, 4 MFD 370V oval) — both included in this OEM listing for complete capacitor service on this unit
• OEM vs Generic: Carrier OEM capacitors are factory-matched to ±5% MFD tolerance and rated to 60,000+ service hours per United Technologies application parameters. Generic aftermarket units commonly run ±10% or wider tolerances, accelerating compressor and motor wear and voiding manufacturer equipment warranties.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Discharge the capacitor fully before touching any terminals (use a 20kΩ resistor or insulated screwdriver across terminals). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance mode. Always photograph existing wiring connections before disconnecting leads.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered by 3PM local time.
