OEM Payne Dual Run & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PA13NR03600GACAA

This OEM capacitor kit includes both the P291-5073RS Dual Run Capacitor and the P281-8806 Start Capacitor — the factory-specified replacements for the Payne PA13NR03600GACAA single-stage split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor sustains continuous operation of both the compressor and condenser fan motor, while the start capacitor delivers the extra electrical boost needed to get the compressor spinning under load. When either fails, symptoms range from a loud hum with no motor movement, to the outdoor unit shutting down within minutes of startup, to a completely unresponsive condenser. Replacing both together is best practice — if one has failed, the other is likely stressed and near end-of-life.

  • Specs: P291-5073RS — Dual Run Capacitor, 370V/440V rated, round case, factory-matched ±5% MFD tolerance | P281-8806 — Start Capacitor, high-microfarad boost rating, designed for Payne 3-ton R-22 condenser applications
  • OEM vs Generic: These are genuine OEM components manufactured to Payne/Carrier factory tolerances. Aftermarket capacitors frequently ship with ±10% MFD variance, which accelerates compressor wear, shortens motor life, and can void equipment warranties.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge both capacitors fully before handling — stored voltage can cause serious injury. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance setting. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting terminals.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders ship same business day from our stocked warehouse — get your system cooling again fast.

Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Payne PA13NR03600GACAA 3-ton, single-stage, R-22 split-system condenser. Always verify MFD and voltage ratings against your unit's data plate before installation. Not sure about fitment? Our HVAC parts specialists confirm compatibility before you order — no guesswork, no returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA13NR03600GACAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA13NR03600GACAA. 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 PA13NR03600GACAA?
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.
