OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor 50+5 MFD 370V for Model PY2PNB036060AA

This is the OEM factory-specified dual run capacitor for the Carrier PY2PNB036060AA packaged unit. Rated at 50+5 MFD at 370 volts, this round capacitor serves the compressor (50 MFD) and condenser fan motor (5 MFD) simultaneously from a single housing. When this capacitor fails, the most common symptoms are a humming compressor that won't start, a condenser fan that spins slowly or not at all, or the system short-cycling and tripping on high pressure. Left unaddressed, a weak capacitor will overstress the compressor windings and dramatically shorten compressor life. This listing covers OEM part number P291-5053 (dual run), with companion single run capacitors P291-0403 and P291-1503 also available for this model.

• Specifications: 50+5 MFD (microfarad) | 370V rated | Round round case | Factory-matched ±3% tolerance | Replaces OEM Part #s: P291-5053, P291-5053RS
• OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are manufactured to exact Carrier factory tolerances. Generic aftermarket units commonly run ±6–10% MFD deviation, which causes the compressor and fan motor to work harder, accelerating wear and increasing the risk of premature failure.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before touching terminals (use an insulated resistor or discharge tool). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (to verify MFD before and after). Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting. Replace on a de-energized unit only.
• Warranty & Shipping: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before 3 PM local time.

Compatibility: Engineered as the direct OEM replacement for Carrier model PY2PNB036060AA packaged units. Always verify the MFD ratings and voltage on your unit's data plate before ordering. Note that the P291-5053RS (RS suffix) is the same capacitor — the suffix denotes round shape. Companion parts P291-0403 and P291-1503 are single run capacitors used on the same platform.
