OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 40 MFD 370V for Model PY3PEA036060NA

This OEM single run capacitor is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY3PEA036060NA packaged heat pump unit. The run capacitor provides the sustained phase-shifted current that keeps the compressor or condenser fan motor spinning at rated efficiency. When this capacitor degrades or fails, you'll typically experience a humming sound with no motor start, intermittent short-cycling, or a complete no-cooling/no-heating condition. Because the PY3PEA036060NA uses separate single run capacitors for the compressor and fan motor circuits, identifying the correct MFD rating on your unit's data plate before ordering is essential.

  • Specs: 40 MFD (microfarad) | 370V AC rated | Round case | Factory-matched ±5% tolerance | OEM part numbers P291-0403 and P291-1503
  • OEM vs Generic: Genuine Carrier OEM capacitors are manufactured to exact factory tolerances, ensuring proper motor starting torque and run efficiency. Generic capacitors often carry wider ±10% MFD tolerances that accelerate motor winding wear and can void equipment warranties.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power and discharge the capacitor before handling. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter to verify discharge. Photograph all wiring connections before removal. Typical replacement time: 15–20 minutes.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Orders placed before 3 PM local time ship same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PY3PEA036060NA 3-ton packaged heat pump unit. Verify the MFD and voltage rating stamped on your existing capacitor or listed on the unit's data plate before ordering — this model uses two separate single run capacitors (compressor and fan motor). Our parts specialists are available to confirm fitment before you purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 40 MFD 370V — PY3PEA036060NA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 40 MFD 370V — PY3PEA036060NA. 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 OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 40 MFD 370V — PY3PEA036060NA?
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?
