OEM Payne Dual Run Capacitor 35+5 MFD 370V for Model PA1PNA018000AABA

This OEM dual run capacitor is the factory-specified replacement for the Payne PA1PNA018000AABA split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor simultaneously supports both the compressor and the condenser fan motor, storing and delivering the electrical charge needed to start and run each component through every cooling cycle. Common failure symptoms include a humming condenser with no motor movement, the system tripping the breaker shortly after startup, or the outdoor fan spinning weakly before shutting down. OEM part numbers P291-3053RS and P291-3053 are direct replacements for this position. Note: P291-1003 is a single run capacitor also associated with this model and serves a dedicated single-motor circuit — confirm your application before ordering.

  • Specs: 35+5 MFD (microfarad) | 370V rated | Round oval case | Factory-matched ±3% tolerance | Replaces P291-3053RS, P291-3053 (dual) and P291-1003 (single run)
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are wound to exact factory tolerances, ensuring proper motor start torque and run efficiency. Generic alternatives often carry ±10% MFD variance, which can accelerate compressor wear, shorten motor life, and void equipment warranties.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before touching terminals — capacitors can hold a lethal charge even after power is disconnected. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance setting. Photograph all wiring connections before removal.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Orders placed before cutoff ship same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Payne PA1PNA018000AABA single-stage split-system condenser. Always verify MFD rating, voltage, and terminal configuration against your unit's data plate before ordering — a mismatched capacitor can damage motors instantly. Our fitment team is available to confirm the correct part for your specific serial number and production date range. Order today for same-day shipping and get your system cooling again fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA1PNA018000AABA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA1PNA018000AABA. 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 PA1PNA018000AABA?
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.
