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.

Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Carrier PY1REA120224ABWA packaged unit. Verify MFD, voltage rating, and terminal configuration on your unit's data plate before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PY1REA120224ABWA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PY1REA120224ABWA. 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 PY1REA120224ABWA?
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.
