Unlike a dual-run capacitor, this unit uses two discrete oval single run capacitors: one dedicated to the condenser fan motor and one to the compressor. Each capacitor stores and releases the electrical charge required to start and sustain its respective motor during every heating and cooling cycle. When one fails, you'll typically hear a persistent hum with no motor movement, notice the system short-cycling, or find the unit not cooling or heating at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs — P291-0403:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 MFD (microfarad) | 370 VAC | Oval case | 50\/60 Hz | Single run | Factory ±5% tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs — P291-1503:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 MFD (microfarad) | 370 VAC | Oval case | 50\/60 Hz | Single run | Factory ±5% tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM Carrier\/Totaline capacitors are manufactured to exact factory tolerances and subjected to 100% electrical testing.

Tools needed: 1\/4\" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance setting). Photograph all wiring connections before removal. Replace one capacitor at a time to avoid wiring errors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-year OEM factory warranty.
