OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 4 MFD 370V for Model PY2PPB042060AB

This is the factory OEM single run capacitor for Carrier model PY2PPB042060AB, supplied under Carrier/Totaline part numbers P291-0403 and P291-1503. The run capacitor provides a continuous phase-shifted current to keep the fan motor or compressor running smoothly after start-up. When it degrades or fails, symptoms include a humming motor that won't spin, intermittent cycling, or a system that trips on thermal overload due to the motor drawing excessive amperage without proper capacitive support.

  • Specs: 4 MFD (microfarad) | 370 VAC | Oval case | Metallized polypropylene film construction | ±5% capacitance tolerance | 50/60 Hz rated | RoHS compliant
  • OEM vs Generic: This OEM Carrier/Totaline unit is subjected to 100% electrical testing at the factory and features a UL-approved patented pressure-sensitive interrupter for safe failure. Generic aftermarket capacitors often skip individual unit testing and use lower-grade dielectric film, leading to premature failure and potential motor damage.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the old capacitor before handling (use an insulated screwdriver across terminals). Tools needed: flathead screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph wiring orientation before removal. Match MFD and voltage exactly — never substitute a higher MFD rating on a run capacitor.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed as the direct OEM replacement for Carrier PY2PPB042060AB. Also cross-references Carrier/Totaline part numbers P291-1503, HC90AA004, HC91CA004, and HC90AB004. Verify the 4 MFD and 370V ratings against your unit's data plate before ordering. Not sure it fits? Our HVAC parts team verifies fitment before you buy — contact us today and ship the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PY2PPB042060AB?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PY2PPB042060AB. 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 PY2PPB042060AB?
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.
