OEM Payne Dual Run Capacitor & Start Capacitor for Model PA13NR03600GADAA

These factory-specified OEM capacitors — dual run capacitor P291-5073RS and start capacitor P281-8806 — are the exact replacements for the Payne PA13NR03600GADAA single-stage split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor continuously powers both the compressor and condenser fan motor, while the start capacitor provides the extra boost of electrical charge needed to kick-start the compressor under load. When either fails, you'll experience symptoms such as a loud humming with no motor movement, a compressor that trips on thermal overload, a condenser fan that won't spin, or a system that short-cycles within the first few minutes of operation.

  • Specs: P291-5073RS — Dual Run Capacitor, factory-matched MFD and 370V/440V rated round case, ±3% tolerance | P281-8806 — Start Capacitor, high-capacitance short-duty rating for compressor assist; always verify exact MFD values on your unit's data plate before ordering
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors from Payne (ICP family) are manufactured to exact factory tolerances. Aftermarket units commonly run ±10% MFD variance, which accelerates compressor winding stress, shortens motor life, and can void equipment warranties on newer systems.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power and discharge the capacitor fully before handling terminals — 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 removal. Start capacitors are in-circuit only during startup; dual run capacitors remain energized continuously.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty on both components. Orders placed before 3 PM local time ship same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse.

Compatibility: Both capacitors are factory-matched for the Payne PA13NR03600GADAA 3-ton, 13 SEER R-410A split-system condenser. Confirm the MFD and voltage ratings printed on your existing capacitors against your unit's data plate before ordering. Not sure if these are the right parts?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA13NR03600GADAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA13NR03600GADAA. 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 PA13NR03600GADAA?
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.
