OEM Payne Dual Run Capacitor & Start Capacitor for Model PA13NR036000AEAA

This OEM-matched capacitor kit includes both the dual run capacitor (P291-5073RS) and the start capacitor (P281-8806) factory-specified for the Payne PA13NR036000AEAA 3-ton single-stage split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor keeps the compressor and condenser fan motor running efficiently, while the start capacitor provides the extra torque needed to kick the compressor into motion on startup. A failed capacitor typically presents as a humming condenser with no motor movement, intermittent short-cycling, tripped breakers, or a unit that simply won't start on hot days when starting loads are highest.

  • Specs: P291-5073RS — Dual Run Capacitor, 440V rated, round case, factory-matched ±5% MFD tolerance | P281-8806 — Start Capacitor, 165-195 MFD range typical, 330V rated | Both matched to PA13NR036000AEAA factory specifications
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are wound to exact factory MFD tolerances, protecting your compressor and fan motor from voltage stress. Generic capacitors often deviate ±10% or more, shortening compressor life and voiding equipment warranties.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge capacitors before handling — stored charge can cause serious injury. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance mode. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting terminals.
  • Warranty & Shipping: 1-year OEM factory warranty on both components. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse — get your system back online fast.

Compatibility: This kit is engineered for the Payne PA13NR036000AEAA 3-ton R-22 single-stage split-system condenser. Always verify MFD rating and voltage against your unit's data plate before ordering. If you're unsure of fitment, our parts specialists verify compatibility before you buy — no guesswork, no returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA13NR036000AEAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA13NR036000AEAA. 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 PA13NR036000AEAA?
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.
