OEM Carrier Run Capacitor P291-0500 for Model CGH10016D Unit

This genuine OEM Carrier P291-0500 run capacitor supplies the consistent voltage your CGH10016D gas package unit needs to start and run its condenser fan motor and compressor smoothly. A failing capacitor—swollen, leaking, or out of spec—leads to hard starts, loud humming, breaker trips, and weak or no cooling. Built to the exact microfarad and voltage Carrier specified for the CGH10016D, this factory part restores full torque and protects your motor windings from overheating. Replacement is a quick 20-minute job for a careful DIYer or HVAC tech: kill power at the disconnect, safely discharge the old capacitor with an insulated screwdriver, snap a photo of the terminals, transfer the wires, and reassemble. No specialty tools needed. Because it's a true OEM component you get the correct tolerance Carrier requires for long, quiet operation. In stock and ships same-day when ordered before 3PM CST. Restore dependable cooling to your CGH10016D today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Run Capacitor fit my Carrier Model CGH10016D Unit?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM run capacitor for the Carrier Model CGH10016D Unit. 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 run capacitor on my Carrier Model CGH10016D Unit?
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 run 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 run 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.
