OEM Payne Dual Run Capacitor P291-1013 for Model PA1REA150000ADWB

This is the factory-specified OEM dual run capacitor (part number P291-1013) for the Payne PA1REA150000ADWB air conditioner. The dual run capacitor provides the electrical charge required to start and continuously run both the compressor and the condenser fan motor simultaneously. When this component begins to fail, you may notice a distinct humming sound with no motor movement, the system short-cycling shortly after startup, a condenser fan that spins only when manually nudged, or complete failure of the outdoor unit to start. Replacing this capacitor promptly protects the compressor — the most expensive component in the system — from damaging hard-start stress.

  • Specs: OEM part number P291-1013 | Dual run configuration | 370V or 440V rated | Round capacitor case | Factory-matched MFD tolerance within ±3% for compressor and fan windings
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM replacement, built to exact Payne factory specifications. Generic aftermarket capacitors often carry ±10% MFD tolerances, which can accelerate motor winding wear and reduce compressor lifespan — costing far more in the long run than the price difference.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — A capacitor swap is one of the most common DIY HVAC repairs. Always discharge the capacitor fully before touching terminals (use an insulated resistor or discharge tool). Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.
  • Warranty: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Orders placed before our same-day cutoff ship the same business day from our stocked warehouse — no waiting on backorders.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Payne PA1REA150000ADWB split-system air conditioner. Always verify the MFD ratings and voltage on 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 — contact us before placing your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA1REA150000ADWB?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA1REA150000ADWB. 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 PA1REA150000ADWB?
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.
