OEM Payne Dual Run Capacitor & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PA10JA04800GAHAA

This OEM capacitor kit includes both the P291-5054RS Dual Run Capacitor and the P281-8806 Start Capacitor — the factory-specified replacements for the Payne PA10JA04800GAHAA 4-ton split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor maintains continuous electrical charge to keep the compressor and condenser fan motor running, while the start capacitor delivers the extra torque needed to kick the compressor into motion. When either fails, symptoms include a loud hum with no motor movement, the system tripping on high-pressure lockout, or the unit short-cycling within the first few minutes of operation.

• Specs: P291-5054RS — Dual Run Capacitor, round case, 370V/440V rated, factory-matched MFD tolerance ±3% | P281-8806 — Start Capacitor, high-capacitance boost design, rated for repetitive hard-start duty on 4-ton compressors
• OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors from Payne (ICP/Carrier family) are manufactured to exact factory tolerances. Aftermarket units commonly ship at ±10% MFD variance, which accelerates compressor winding wear, shortens motor life, and can void equipment warranties.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power and discharge capacitor terminals before handling. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers, insulated screwdriver, multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before removal. Start capacitor wires to compressor HERM terminal; dual run handles HERM, FAN, and COMMON.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty on both capacitors. Orders placed before 3 PM EST ship same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse.

Compatibility: This kit is engineered specifically for the Payne PA10JA04800GAHAA 4-ton (48,000 BTU) single-stage split-system condenser. Always verify the MFD and voltage ratings on your unit's data plate match before installation. The PA10JA series shares components with select ICP, Heil, and Tempstar platforms — confirm part numbers P291-5054RS and P281-8806 on your existing capacitors before ordering.
