OEM Payne Dual Run & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PA13NR03000GAAAA

This OEM capacitor kit includes both the P291-4553RS Dual Run Capacitor and the P281-1766 Start Capacitor — the factory-specified replacements for the Payne PA13NR03000GAAAA single-stage split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor stores and delivers the precise electrical charge needed to start and run both the compressor and condenser fan motor simultaneously. The start capacitor provides an additional torque boost during compressor startup. When either fails, symptoms include a humming condenser with no motor movement, a system that trips the breaker shortly after startup, or a compressor that short-cycles within the first few minutes of operation.

• Specs: P291-4553RS — Dual Run Capacitor, 440V rated, round case, factory-matched ±3% MFD tolerance | P281-1766 — Start Capacitor, factory-spec voltage and MFD rating for hard-start assist on the PA13NR03000GAAAA compressor
• OEM vs Generic: OEM Payne capacitors are manufactured to exact ICP/Payne factory tolerances. Aftermarket units frequently run ±10% MFD deviation, which accelerates compressor winding wear, shortens motor life, and can void equipment warranties.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power and discharge the capacitor fully before handling. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, insulated screwdriver, and a multimeter to verify discharge. Photograph all wiring connections before removal.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty on both components. Orders placed before cutoff ship the same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Payne PA13NR03000GAAAA 3-ton, 13 SEER single-stage R-22 split-system condenser. Always cross-reference the MFD and voltage ratings on your unit's data plate before installing. If you need fitment verification, our HVAC parts specialists confirm compatibility before your order ships — no guesswork required.
