OEM Payne Dual Run & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PA13NR042000AHAA

This OEM capacitor kit includes both the P291-5553RS Dual Run Capacitor and the P281-8806 Start Capacitor, factory-specified replacements for the Payne PA13NR042000AHAA 3.5-ton split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor keeps both the compressor and condenser fan motor running efficiently, while the start capacitor delivers the extra electrical boost needed to get the compressor turning. When either fails, expect symptoms like a humming condenser that won't start, a compressor that trips the breaker, or a system that short-cycles and shuts down within minutes of startup.

  • Specs: P291-5553RS Dual Run Capacitor — Round case, 370V/440V rated, factory-matched MFD tolerance ±3% | P281-8806 Start Capacitor — High-boost electrolytic design, matched to PA13NR042000AHAA compressor start requirements
  • OEM vs Generic: These are genuine OEM components built to Payne/Carrier factory specifications. Generic aftermarket capacitors often carry ±10% MFD tolerances, which accelerates compressor and motor wear and can void equipment warranties. OEM ensures exact electrical match every time.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Capacitors store lethal charge even after power is cut. Always discharge both capacitors using an insulated resistor before handling. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph all wiring before disconnecting terminals.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders placed before cutoff ship same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse.

Compatibility: This kit is engineered specifically for the Payne PA13NR042000AHAA 13 SEER R-410A split-system condenser. Always verify MFD and voltage ratings against your unit's data plate before installation. If you're unsure which capacitor failed — or whether both need replacement — our HVAC parts specialists can help confirm fitment before you order. Don't let a $50 capacitor sideline your system all summer. Order now — in stock and ships today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA13NR042000AHAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA13NR042000AHAA. 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 PA13NR042000AHAA?
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.
