OEM Payne Dual Run Capacitor 45+5 MFD 440V for Model PA10JA036000AGAA

This OEM dual run capacitor (part number P291-4553RS) is the factory-specified replacement for the Payne PA10JA036000AGAA split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor stores and releases the electrical charge required to start and sustain both the compressor and condenser fan motor during every cooling cycle. Common failure symptoms include a loud hum with no motor movement, the system shutting down within minutes of startup, or the condenser fan spinning slowly or not at all — all of which lead to warm air and potential compressor damage if left unaddressed.

  • Specs: 45+5 MFD (microfarad) | 440V rated | Round case | Factory-matched ±3% tolerance | OEM part number P291-4553RS
  • OEM vs Generic: This OEM capacitor meets Payne's exact factory tolerance specifications. Generic aftermarket units frequently run ±10% MFD deviation, which accelerates motor and compressor wear over time and may void equipment warranties.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before touching any terminals to avoid serious injury. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting the old capacitor to ensure correct reinstallation.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before 3 PM local time.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Payne PA10JA036000AGAA 3-ton split-system air conditioner. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage on your unit's data plate before ordering to confirm fitment. Not sure if this is the right part? Our HVAC parts specialists verify fitment before you buy — reach out before placing your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA10JA036000AGAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA10JA036000AGAA. 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 Payne PA10JA036000AGAA?
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 Payne 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 Payne 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.
