OEM Payne Dual Run & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PA13NR04200GAAAA

This OEM capacitor kit contains the two factory-specified capacitors for the Payne PA13NR04200GAAAA single-stage split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor (P291-5553RS) continuously supports both the compressor and condenser fan motor during operation, while the start capacitor (P281-8806) delivers the extra surge of energy needed to get the compressor spinning on each startup cycle. When either capacitor fails, symptoms range from an audible hum with no motor movement, to a system that short-cycles within minutes of startup, trips a breaker, or simply refuses to turn on — leaving you with no cooling on the hottest days.

  • Specs: Kit includes OEM dual run capacitor P291-5553RS (55+5 MFD, 370V/440V rated, round case) and start capacitor P281-8806 (88–108 MFD, 330V rated) — factory-matched ±3% tolerance for both units
  • OEM vs Generic: Factory OEM capacitors maintain tight tolerance ratings that protect your compressor and fan motor from voltage stress. Generic alternatives often drift ±10% MFD over time, accelerating wear on motor windings and significantly shortening compressor service life.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before touching terminals (use an insulated resistor or discharge tool). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance function. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting. Replace one capacitor at a time to avoid miswiring.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Ships same business day from our NationalHVACParts.com warehouse when ordered before cutoff.

Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Payne PA13NR04200GAAAA 3.5-ton R-22 single-stage condenser. Always verify MFD, voltage ratings, and terminal configuration against your unit's data plate before installation. Our fitment specialists are available to confirm compatibility before you order — ensuring you get the right part the first time and avoid costly return shipping delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA13NR04200GAAAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA13NR04200GAAAA. 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 PA13NR04200GAAAA?
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.
