OEM Payne Dual Run & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PA12NA04200GAAAA

This OEM capacitor kit includes both the dual run capacitor (P291-5573RS) and the start capacitor (P281-8806) — the factory-specified replacements for the Payne PA12NA04200GAAAA split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor keeps both the compressor and condenser fan motor running smoothly, while the start capacitor delivers the extra torque needed to kick the compressor into motion. When either component fails, symptoms include a loud hum with no motor movement, a system that trips the breaker shortly after startup, or a condenser fan that spins freely by hand but won't self-start.

  • Specs: P291-5573RS — Dual Run Capacitor, 370V/440V rated, round case, ±5% factory tolerance | P281-8806 — Start Capacitor, high-capacitance boost design for hard-start compressor assist
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are manufactured to exact Payne/Carrier factory specifications. Aftermarket units frequently carry ±10% MFD tolerance, which accelerates wear on compressor windings and shortens equipment life — especially critical in high-ambient-temperature conditions.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals (use a 20kΩ resistor or insulated screwdriver). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance mode. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting. The start capacitor is typically wired in parallel with the run capacitor's HERM terminal.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock units ship same business day from our warehouse — get your system back online fast.

Compatibility: This kit is engineered specifically for the Payne PA12NA04200GAAAA single-stage split-system condenser. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage printed on your existing capacitor's data label before installing. Running mismatched capacitor values can void your equipment warranty and damage the compressor. Not sure which part fits?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA12NA04200GAAAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA12NA04200GAAAA. 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 PA12NA04200GAAAA?
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.
