OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 4 MFD 370V Oval for Model PY2PPB042060NB

This OEM single run capacitor is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY2PPB042060NB packaged unit. Carrying part numbers P291-0403 (4 MFD) and P291-1503 (15 MFD), these oval run capacitors maintain the continuous electrical charge required to keep the condenser fan motor or blower motor running efficiently after startup. When a run capacitor fails, the motor may hum but refuse to spin, overheat and trip on thermal overload, or cause the entire system to short-cycle — leaving you without cooling or heating.

  • Specs (P291-0403): 4 MFD (microfarad) | 370 VAC rated | Oval case | 50/60 Hz | Factory-matched ±5% tolerance | Replaces OEM cross-references HC90AA004, HC91CA004, HC90AB004, and GE/Genteq 97F5704
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier/Totaline OEM capacitor built to exact factory tolerances. Generic alternatives often carry wider MFD variance (±10%), which accelerates motor winding stress and shortens component service life — a false economy on a packaged rooftop or split system.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Tools needed: flathead or Phillips screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph all wiring connections before removal. Match MFD and voltage ratings exactly to your unit's data plate.
  • Warranty & Shipping: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse — get your system back up and running fast.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PY2PPB042060NB packaged unit. Note: P291-1503 (15 MFD 370V) has been discontinued by Carrier; the current direct replacement is P291-1504 (15 MFD 440V). Always verify the MFD rating and voltage on your unit's original capacitor data label before ordering. Our parts specialists are available to confirm fitment before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier PY2PPB042060NB?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier PY2PPB042060NB. 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 PY2PPB042060NB?
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.
