OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor 45+5 MFD 440V for Model PY4GNAB36060AA

This is the genuine OEM factory-specified dual run capacitor for the Carrier PY4GNAB36060AA split-system air conditioner, OEM part number P291-4554RS. The dual run capacitor provides the electrical charge required to start and sustain both the compressor and condenser fan motor simultaneously. When this component fails, you'll typically hear a low hum with no motor movement, experience a hard-starting compressor, or notice the outdoor unit shutting down within minutes of starting — all classic signs of capacitor failure that should be addressed immediately to prevent compressor damage.

  • Specs: 45+5 MFD (microfarad) | 440V rated | Round case | 50/60 Hz | ±6% tolerance | Castor oil protected | No-PCB construction | Replaces legacy part numbers HC98KA046 and 319186-702
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier OEM capacitor built to exact factory tolerances. Generic alternatives commonly run at ±10% MFD variance, which places unnecessary stress on your compressor windings and condenser fan motor, shortening their operational lifespan significantly.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting the old capacitor to ensure correct re-wiring of HERM, FAN, and COMMON terminals.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty against defects. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PY4GNAB36060AA split-system air conditioner. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage on your unit's data plate before ordering to confirm fitment. Our parts specialists are available to verify compatibility before you complete your purchase — reach out before you order if you have any questions.

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor 45+5 MFD 440V — PY4GNAB36060AA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor 45+5 MFD 440V — PY4GNAB36060AA. 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 Dual Run Capacitor 45+5 MFD 440V — PY4GNAB36060AA?
Difficulty: Easy (20–30 min)

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.
