OEM Payne Single Run Capacitor P291-2503 for Model PA1REA060000AAWA

This is the factory-specified OEM single run capacitor (part number P291-2503) for the Payne PA1REA060000AAWA split-system air conditioner. A single run capacitor provides the continuous electrical charge required to keep either the compressor or the condenser fan motor running at peak efficiency. When this capacitor degrades or fails, you may notice symptoms such as a humming noise with no motor movement, intermittent short-cycling, the system struggling to start, or a complete loss of cooling. Replacing it promptly prevents cascading damage to the compressor or fan motor — two far more expensive components.

  • Specs: OEM single run capacitor | Factory-matched MFD rating and 370V/440V voltage rating | Round case design | Tight ±3% tolerance per factory specification — verify MFD and voltage on your unit's data plate before ordering
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM part built to Payne's exact electrical tolerances. Aftermarket capacitors commonly carry a ±10% MFD variance, which can cause motor overheating, reduced efficiency, and significantly shortened compressor life over time.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — A straightforward repair for a qualified technician or experienced DIYer. Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter to verify discharge. Photograph all wiring connections before removing the old capacitor.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse — get your system back online fast.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Payne PA1REA060000AAWA 5-ton split-system air conditioner. Always confirm the MFD rating and voltage printed on your existing capacitor or unit data plate prior to ordering. Our parts specialists are available to verify fitment before you buy — reach out with your model and serial number for confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA1REA060000AAWA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA1REA060000AAWA. 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 PA1REA060000AAWA?
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.
