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? Our HVAC parts specialists verify fitment before you buy — reach out before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA13NR030000ACAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA13NR030000ACAA. 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 PA13NR030000ACAA?
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.
