OEM Payne Dual Run & Start Capacitor Replacement Kit for Model PA10JA04200MADAA

This OEM-matched capacitor set includes both the dual run capacitor (P291-4054RS) and start capacitor (P281-8806) factory-specified for the Payne PA10JA04200MADAA split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor keeps the compressor and condenser fan motor running efficiently, while the start capacitor delivers the initial torque burst needed to start the compressor under load. When either fails, symptoms include a distinct humming with no motor movement, the system tripping on thermal overload, short-cycling within the first few minutes of operation, or a complete failure to start. Replacing both together is standard service practice — if one has failed, the other is under equal stress.

• Specs: P291-4054RS — Dual Run Capacitor, 440V rated, round case, ±5% factory tolerance | P281-8806 — Start Capacitor, 330V AC rated, designed for high-torque compressor start assist | Both are factory OEM-matched for the PA10JA04200MADAA platform
• OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are manufactured to exact factory MFD tolerances (±5%). Aftermarket generics commonly run ±10–15%, which accelerates motor winding fatigue, shortens compressor life, and can void your equipment warranty. When the part costs less than a service call, OEM is always the right choice.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power at the breaker and discharge the capacitor fully before touching terminals (use an insulated resistor or discharge tool). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance function. Photograph all wiring connections before removing the old capacitors. The start capacitor typically mounts with a bracket near the compressor; the dual run capacitor sits in the control compartment.
• Warranty & Shipping: 1-year OEM factory warranty on both components. Orders placed before 3 PM ship same business day from our climate-controlled parts warehouse. Free returns on all uninstalled parts within 30 days.

Compatibility: This listing covers OEM part numbers P291-4054RS (dual run capacitor) and P281-8806 (start capacitor) as used in the Payne PA10JA04200MADAA condensing unit. Always verify voltage and MFD ratings against your unit's data plate before installation. Not sure it fits? Contact our HVAC parts specialists — we confirm fitment before you order, at no charge.
