OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor 35 MFD 370V for Model YAC3080YAC101

This is the factory-specified OEM single run capacitor for the Carrier YAC3080YAC101 air conditioning system, originally sold under Carrier/Totaline part number P291-3503 (now superseded by P291-3504). The run capacitor stays energized throughout the entire operating cycle, providing the sustained electrical phase-shift that keeps the compressor motor spinning efficiently. When it degrades or fails, symptoms include a loud hum with no compressor start, the system short-cycling within minutes of start-up, reduced cooling output, or a tripped breaker from motor overload. Replacing a weak capacitor promptly protects the compressor — the most expensive component in your system.

  • Specs: 35 MFD (microfarad) | 370V rated (440V-rated successor is a direct, code-compliant upgrade) | Oval case | ±6% capacitance tolerance | Manufactured by Hartland Controls / Totaline for Carrier
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are built to exact Carrier factory tolerances and undergo 100% electrical testing before leaving the factory. Off-brand generics often drift outside the ±6% MFD window, accelerating compressor wear and voiding equipment warranties.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor before touching terminals (use a resistor or insulated screwdriver). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance function. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting the old capacitor.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier YAC3080YAC101 air conditioning unit. Cross-references include Totaline P291-3503, P291-3504, and Hartland Controls HCK350V370102Z. Verify the MFD rating and voltage on your unit's data plate before ordering. Have a question about fitment? Our HVAC parts specialists confirm compatibility before you buy — call or chat today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier YAC3080YAC101?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier YAC3080YAC101. 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 YAC3080YAC101?
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.
