OEM Carrier Single Run Capacitor P291-3503 for Model YAC3080YAC106C

This OEM single run capacitor (part number P291-3503) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier YAC3080YAC106C condensing unit. A run capacitor maintains the continuous phase-shifted electrical current that keeps the compressor or condenser fan motor running at peak efficiency. When this component degrades or fails, you'll commonly experience symptoms such as a loud humming with no motor movement, intermittent hard starts, or complete failure of the compressor or fan motor to run — all of which can lead to rapid equipment damage if left unaddressed.

  • Specs: Single run capacitor | Factory-rated MFD and voltage — verify your unit's data plate for exact microfarad and voltage rating | Round or oval case (confirm form factor before ordering)
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM part sourced directly from Carrier, ensuring exact capacitance tolerance (±3% vs ±10% on generic alternatives). Tighter tolerance means reduced stress on motor windings and longer compressor life.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling using an insulated resistor or discharge tool. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (to verify discharge). Photograph all wiring connections before removal.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Orders ship same business day when placed before cutoff from our stocked warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered as the direct OEM replacement for Carrier model YAC3080YAC106C. Always cross-reference the MFD and voltage rating on your existing capacitor's label or the unit's data plate before ordering to confirm a proper fit. Have questions about compatibility? Our HVAC parts specialists verify fitment before you buy — contact us before placing your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier YAC3080YAC106C?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier YAC3080YAC106C. 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 YAC3080YAC106C?
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.
