OEM Payne Single Run Capacitor P291-1503 for Model PA1PPB048000AAAA

This OEM single run capacitor (part number P291-1503) is the factory-specified replacement for the Payne PA1PPB048000AAAA split-system air conditioner. A single run capacitor provides the sustained electrical charge needed to keep either the compressor or the condenser fan motor running at full efficiency during each cooling cycle. When this capacitor degrades or fails, common symptoms include a humming sound with no motor movement, intermittent short-cycling, a condenser fan that spins slowly or not at all, or a system that trips the breaker shortly after startup.

  • Specs: OEM-matched microfarad (MFD) rating | 370V or 440V rated (verify against unit data plate) | Cylindrical single-section case | Factory ±5% tolerance for precise motor protection
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM capacitor built to Payne's exact factory specifications. Generic alternatives often carry a wider ±10% MFD tolerance, which can accelerate wear on the compressor or fan motor windings and void equipment warranties.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter with capacitance mode. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting to ensure correct reinstallation.
  • Warranty: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders placed before cutoff ship the same business day from our stocked warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Payne PA1PPB048000AAAA 4-ton split-system condenser. Always confirm the MFD rating and voltage printed on your existing capacitor or the unit's data plate before ordering to ensure a proper match. Have a question about fitment? Our HVAC parts specialists verify compatibility before you buy — reach out before placing your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA1PPB048000AAAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA1PPB048000AAAA. 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 PA1PPB048000AAAA?
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.
