OEM Payne Dual Run & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PA13NR04200GAHAA

This factory-matched OEM capacitor kit includes both the P291-5553RS Dual Run Capacitor and the P281-8806 Start Capacitor — the two capacitors specified for the Payne PA13NR04200GAHAA single-stage split-system air conditioner. Capacitors store and release the electrical energy needed to start and run the compressor and condenser fan motor. A failing dual run capacitor typically causes a humming sound with no motor movement or intermittent short-cycling, while a failed start capacitor prevents the compressor from starting under load, often tripping the breaker or causing hard-start faults.

  • Included Parts: P291-5553RS Dual Run Capacitor (compressor + fan) | P281-8806 Start Capacitor (compressor hard-start assist) | Both factory-matched to OEM tolerances of ±3% MFD for the Payne PA13NR04200GAHAA platform
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors from Payne/Carrier meet exact factory MFD and voltage tolerances. Aftermarket generics commonly run ±10% variance, which accelerates motor winding wear, reduces compressor life, and can void equipment warranties.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off power at the disconnect and discharge both capacitors before handling. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, insulated screwdriver, and a multimeter to verify discharge. Always photograph all terminal wiring before disconnecting. The start capacitor wires in parallel with the run terminal on the dual run capacitor — consult the unit's wiring diagram on the inside panel door.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse so your system is back online fast.

Compatibility: This capacitor kit is the factory-specified replacement for the Payne PA13NR04200GAHAA 3.5-ton R-410A split-system condenser. Always verify the MFD ratings and voltage specifications printed on your existing capacitors against your unit's data plate before ordering. Not sure if this is the right part?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA13NR04200GAHAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA13NR04200GAHAA. 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 PA13NR04200GAHAA?
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.
