OEM Payne Single Run Capacitor P291-3074R for Model PA17NA04800GBBAA

This OEM single run capacitor (part number P291-3074R) is the factory-specified replacement for the Payne PA17NA04800GBBAA split-system heat pump condenser. A single run capacitor provides the continuous electrical charge needed to keep either the compressor or the condenser fan motor running at peak efficiency after startup. When this capacitor weakens or fails, you'll notice symptoms such as the condenser fan humming without spinning, the system tripping on high-pressure lockout, or intermittent short-cycling on hot days — all signs of a capacitor that can no longer hold its rated charge.

  • Specs: Single run capacitor | Factory OEM MFD and voltage rating matched to PA17NA04800GBBAA specifications | 370V or 440V rated round case | ±3% tolerance for precise motor protection
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM part built to Payne's exact factory tolerances. Aftermarket capacitors frequently ship at ±10% MFD variance, which accelerates motor winding stress and can void compressor warranties — not a risk worth taking on a high-efficiency heat pump.
  • 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, and a multimeter to confirm capacitance. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting the old unit.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders placed before our same-day cutoff ship directly from our warehouse — get your system back online fast.

Compatibility: Designed for the Payne PA17NA04800GBBAA 4-ton high-efficiency split-system heat pump condenser. Always verify the MFD and voltage ratings on your unit's data plate before ordering to confirm fitment. Not sure if this is the right part? Our HVAC parts specialists verify compatibility before you buy — reach out before placing your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA17NA04800GBBAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA17NA04800GBBAA. 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 PA17NA04800GBBAA?
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.
