OEM Payne Dual Run & Start Capacitor Replacement Kit for Model PA13NR030000ACAA

This OEM capacitor kit includes both the dual run capacitor (P291-4553RS) and the start capacitor (P281-1766) — the factory-specified replacements for the Payne PA13NR030000ACAA single-stage split-system air conditioner. Capacitors store and deliver the electrical charge required to start and run the compressor and condenser fan motor. A failing dual run capacitor typically causes a loud hum with no motor movement, while a faulty start capacitor results in a sluggish or failed compressor start, often triggering short-cycling or thermal overload trips.

• Specs: P291-4553RS — Dual Run Capacitor, 440V rated, round case, factory-matched ±5% tolerance | P281-1766 — Start Capacitor, voltage and MFD matched to Payne PA13NR030000ACAA factory specification; verify ratings on your unit's data plate before ordering
• OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are manufactured to exact factory tolerances, ensuring proper motor starting torque and run efficiency. Generic capacitors often deviate ±10% MFD from spec, which accelerates motor winding wear, shortens compressor life, and can void equipment warranties.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before touching any terminals — stored charge can cause serious injury. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance function. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting. Replace one capacitor at a time to avoid wiring confusion.
• Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Orders ship the same business day from our stocked warehouse — no waiting on backorders.

Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Payne PA13NR030000ACAA 2.5-ton, 13 SEER R-410A split-system condenser. Always cross-reference the MFD and voltage ratings printed on your existing capacitors and your unit's data plate before finalizing your order. Not sure if this kit fits your system?
