OEM Payne Dual Run & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PA13NR03000GABAA

This OEM capacitor kit includes both the P291-4553RS Dual Run Capacitor and the P281-1766 Start Capacitor, factory-specified replacements for the Payne PA13NR03000GABAA split-system air conditioner. Capacitors store and release the electrical charge needed to start and run the compressor and condenser fan motor. A failing capacitor is one of the most common causes of AC failure — symptoms include a loud hum with no motor movement, a system that trips the breaker shortly after startup, or a condenser fan that spins only when manually nudged. Replacing both units at the same time is strongly recommended, as they age at the same rate and dual replacement prevents a repeat service call.

  • Included Parts: P291-4553RS Dual Run Capacitor (compressor + condenser fan) | P281-1766 Start Capacitor (compressor assist) | Both are factory-matched OEM components with ±3% MFD tolerance for precise motor protection
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors maintain strict factory MFD tolerances. Off-brand units commonly ship at ±10% tolerance, placing excess strain on the compressor and fan motor windings — shortening equipment life and voiding some manufacturer warranties.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge capacitors fully before handling (use an insulated resistor or discharge tool). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance setting). Photograph all wiring connections before removal. Turn off power at both the breaker and the disconnect before beginning.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders placed before cutoff ship the same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for the Payne PA13NR03000GABAA 13 SEER R-410A split-system condenser. Always verify capacitor MFD and voltage ratings against your unit's data plate before installation. Not sure if this is the right fit?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA13NR03000GABAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA13NR03000GABAA. 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 PA13NR03000GABAA?
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.
