OEM Payne Dual Run Capacitor & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PA13NR024000AAAA

This factory-matched OEM capacitor kit includes both the P291-3553RS Dual Run Capacitor and the P281-8806 Start Capacitor — the two capacitors specified for the Payne PA13NR024000AAAA 2-ton split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor stores and delivers the electrical charge needed to keep the compressor and condenser fan motor running, while the start capacitor provides an extra torque boost during compressor startup. When either fails, you may notice a humming unit that won't start, a condenser fan spinning slowly or not at all, or the system tripping its breaker and short-cycling within minutes of startup.

  • Specs: P291-3553RS Dual Run Capacitor — round case, 370V/440V rated, factory-matched MFD tolerance ±3%; P281-8806 Start Capacitor — high-capacitance boost design, matched to PA13NR024000AAAA compressor inrush requirements
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are manufactured to exact factory tolerances, ensuring proper MFD delivery and voltage headroom. Generic aftermarket units commonly ship at ±10% MFD tolerance, which accelerates compressor wear, shortens motor life, and can void equipment warranties.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power and discharge both capacitors fully before handling any terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, insulated screwdriver, and a multimeter to verify discharge. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting either capacitor.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty on both components. Orders placed before 3 PM ship same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse.

Compatibility: This kit is engineered specifically for the Payne PA13NR024000AAAA 13 SEER, 2-ton (24,000 BTU) single-stage R-410A split-system condenser. Always verify MFD ratings and voltage specifications against your unit's data plate before installation. Not sure about fitment? Our HVAC parts specialists verify compatibility before every order — contact us and we'll confirm the right parts for your system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA13NR024000AAAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA13NR024000AAAA. 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 PA13NR024000AAAA?
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.
