OEM Payne Dual Run Capacitor & Start Capacitor for Model PA13NA02400GABAA

This OEM-matched capacitor set includes both the dual run capacitor (P291-3553RS) and the start capacitor (P281-8806) factory-specified for the Payne PA13NA02400GABAA 2-ton single-stage split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor keeps the compressor and condenser fan motor running efficiently, while the start capacitor delivers the extra torque needed to bring the compressor up to speed under load. When either fails, symptoms include a loud hum with no motor movement, a compressor that trips on thermal overload, or an outdoor unit that short-cycles within the first few minutes of operation.

  • Specs: P291-3553RS — Dual Run Capacitor, round case, 370V/440V rated, factory-matched MFD tolerance ±3% | P281-8806 — Start Capacitor, high-capacitance short-duty rated, matched to PA13NA02400GABAA compressor start requirements
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors from Payne (ICP/Carrier family) maintain exact factory MFD tolerances. Aftermarket units commonly run ±10% tolerance, which increases compressor winding stress, accelerates wear, and can void equipment warranties.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge capacitors fully before handling — they retain lethal voltage after power is cut. Tools needed: insulated screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance mode. Photograph all wiring connections before removal.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Orders placed before cutoff ship same business day from our climate-controlled parts warehouse.

Compatibility & Ordering Note: These capacitors are factory-specified for the Payne PA13NA02400GABAA 2-ton (24,000 BTU) R-410A split-system condenser. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage printed on your existing capacitor's label or the unit data plate before ordering — capacitor specs can vary even within the same model series based on production date. Not sure which part fits your unit? Our HVAC parts specialists verify fitment before every order. In stock and ready to ship today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA13NA02400GABAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA13NA02400GABAA. 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 PA13NA02400GABAA?
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.
