OEM Payne Dual Run & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PA13NR02400GAAAA

This factory-matched OEM capacitor kit includes both the dual run capacitor (P291-3553RS) and the start capacitor (P281-8806) for the Payne PA13NR02400GAAAA single-stage split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor keeps both the compressor and condenser fan motor running at peak efficiency, while the start capacitor delivers the extra electrical boost needed to get the compressor spinning under load. Common failure symptoms include loud humming with no motor movement, the condenser fan spinning only when manually nudged, or the system short-cycling and tripping the breaker within minutes of startup.

  • Specs: P291-3553RS — Dual Run Capacitor, 370V/440V rated, round case, ±5% MFD tolerance | P281-8806 — Start Capacitor, 165–330V rated; verify MFD ratings on your unit's data plate before installation
  • OEM vs Generic: These are factory-specified OEM components carrying exact MFD tolerances. Aftermarket capacitors frequently deviate by ±10% or more, placing excess strain on the compressor and fan motor and shortening their service life significantly.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge capacitors fully before handling — stored voltage can exceed 400V even after power is disconnected. Tools needed: insulated screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter to verify discharge. Photograph all wiring connections before removal.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders placed before cutoff ship the same business day from our stocked warehouse — no waiting on backorders.

Compatibility: This kit is engineered specifically for the Payne PA13NR02400GAAAA 2-ton, 13 SEER R-410A split-system condenser. Always cross-reference OEM part numbers P291-3553RS and P281-8806 and confirm voltage and MFD ratings against your unit's data plate before ordering. Not sure it fits? Our parts specialists verify fitment before every order — contact us and we'll confirm compatibility fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA13NR02400GAAAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA13NR02400GAAAA. 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 PA13NR02400GAAAA?
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.
