OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 4 MFD 370V for Model PY1RPA048115AAWA

This OEM single run capacitor is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY1RPA048115AAWA packaged unit. Operating at 4 MFD (microfarad) and 370 VAC, this oval-style capacitor powers the draft inducer motor — the component responsible for venting combustion gases and proving airflow before ignition. When this capacitor fails, the inducer motor will hum without spinning, fail to start entirely, or cause the furnace to lock out after a brief ignition attempt. Replacing it promptly prevents further motor damage and restores reliable heating operation.

  • Specs: 4 MFD (µF) | 370 VAC | Oval case | Single run | 50/60 Hz | OEM part numbers: HC30GB230 (motor kit), P291-0403, P291-1503
  • OEM vs Generic: This OEM Totaline/Carrier capacitor is reliability-tested to 60,000 service hours with ±5% capacitance tolerance. Generic alternatives often run ±10% MFD, which stresses the inducer motor windings and shortens service life.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor before touching terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode recommended). Photograph all wiring before disconnecting. Verify MFD and voltage on the unit data plate before installation.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PY1RPA048115AAWA packaged unit in conjunction with the HC30GB230 draft inducer motor assembly. Cross-references P291-0403 and P291-1503. Always confirm the 4 MFD / 370V rating against your unit's data plate before ordering. Have a fitment question? Our team verifies compatibility before you buy — contact us today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PY1RPA048115AAWA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PY1RPA048115AAWA. 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 PY1RPA048115AAWA?
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.
