OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor 10+10 MFD 370V for Model PY1REA120224ABWB

This OEM dual run capacitor (P291-1013) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY1REA120224ABWB condenser unit. The capacitor stores and releases the precise electrical charge required to start and sustain both the compressor and the condenser fan motor simultaneously. When this part degrades or fails, you'll typically hear a loud hum with no motor movement, notice the outdoor unit short-cycling within minutes of startup, or find the condenser fan spinning sluggishly or not at all. Left unaddressed, a weak capacitor accelerates compressor wear and can cause premature motor burnout. Also included in this listing is the companion Single Run Capacitor P291-0403 (4 MFD 370V oval), which serves the fan motor circuit independently on select configurations of this unit — verify your wiring diagram before ordering.

• Dual Run Capacitor Specs (P291-1013): 10+10 MFD (microfarad) | 370V rated | Oval case | Aluminum housing | 50/60 Hz | ±5% factory tolerance | Replaces GE/Genteq 27L180 and HC93CA013
• Single Run Capacitor Specs (P291-0403): 4 MFD | 370V rated | Oval case | Replaces HC90AA004, HC91CA004, HC90AB004 — confirm circuit requirement before ordering
• OEM vs Generic: OEM Carrier/Totaline capacitors are manufactured to exact United Technologies factory tolerances and reliability-tested to 60,000 service hours. Generic units often carry ±10% MFD variance, which accelerates motor bearing wear and shortens compressor life over time.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before touching any terminals (use a 20,000-ohm resistor or insulated screwdriver). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance function. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting. Match MFD and voltage ratings exactly to your data plate before installation.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty on P291-1013. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before 3 PM local time.

Compatibility: Engineered for the Carrier PY1REA120224ABWB condenser. Note that P291-1013 has been superseded by P291-1014 (same 10+10 MFD 370V spec) — both are stocked and either is a valid fit. Always confirm your unit's capacitor rating on the data plate inside the electrical panel access door before ordering. Our team is available to verify fitment before you complete your purchase.
