OEM Payne Single Run Capacitor P291-1503 for Model PA1PEB042000AAAA

This OEM single run capacitor (part number P291-1503) is the factory-specified replacement for the Payne PA1PEB042000AAAA split-system air conditioner. A single run capacitor maintains a continuous electrical charge that keeps either the compressor or the condenser fan motor running at peak efficiency. When this component fails, you'll commonly notice a humming sound with no motor movement, intermittent shutdowns, or a system that trips the breaker shortly after startup — leaving your home without cooling on the hottest days.

  • Specs: Single run capacitor | Factory-matched MFD rating | 370V/440V rated | Round case design | OEM part number P291-1503 | ±3% tolerance for precision motor protection
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM part built to Payne's exact factory specifications. Generic capacitors typically carry a ±10% MFD tolerance, which stresses motor windings over time and can shorten compressor or fan motor lifespan significantly — costing far more in downstream repairs.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Recommended tools: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode), and insulated gloves. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting to ensure correct reinstallation.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Orders placed before cutoff ship same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse — so your repair doesn't wait.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Payne PA1PEB042000AAAA split-system air conditioner (4-ton, R-410A). Always verify the MFD rating and voltage printed on your existing capacitor's label or your unit's data plate before ordering to confirm an exact match. Not sure if this part fits your system? Our HVAC parts specialists verify fitment before you buy — reach out before placing your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA1PEB042000AAAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA1PEB042000AAAA. 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 PA1PEB042000AAAA?
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.
