OEM Payne Dual Run Capacitor & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PA14NA02400GAAAA

This OEM-matched capacitor kit includes both the P291-3553RS Dual Run Capacitor and the P281-8806 Start Capacitor — the factory-specified replacements for the Payne PA14NA02400GAAAA 2-ton split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor continuously powers both the compressor and condenser fan motor during operation, while the start capacitor delivers the extra torque needed to get the compressor spinning under load. When either fails, symptoms include a distinct humming with no motor movement, repeated tripping of the breaker, the outdoor unit failing to start while the indoor air handler runs normally, or the system shutting down within minutes of startup.

  • Specs: P291-3553RS Dual Run Capacitor | Round case | 370V/440V rated | Factory ±3% MFD tolerance | P281-8806 Start Capacitor | Matched to Payne PA14NA02400GAAAA factory specifications — verify MFD values on your unit data plate before ordering
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors from Payne (ICP/Carrier family) are manufactured to exact factory tolerances. Generic aftermarket capacitors frequently run ±10% MFD deviation, which accelerates compressor wear, shortens motor life, and can void existing equipment warranties.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before touching terminals (use an insulated resistor or discharge tool). Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance setting. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting. Replace one capacitor at a time to avoid wiring confusion.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In-stock units ship same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse — protecting capacitors from heat and humidity during storage.

Compatibility: This kit is engineered for the Payne PA14NA02400GAAAA 2-ton (24,000 BTU), single-stage R-410A split-system condenser. Payne is a member of the Carrier/ICP product family, and these OEM part numbers P291-3553RS and P281-8806 are direct factory replacements. Always confirm MFD ratings and voltage on your unit's data plate before ordering. Our HVAC parts specialists are available to verify fitment before you purchase — no guesswork required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA14NA02400GAAAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA14NA02400GAAAA. 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 PA14NA02400GAAAA?
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.
