OEM Payne Single Run Capacitor P291-1503 for Model PA1ZNA024000ACAA

This is the OEM-specified single run capacitor for the Payne PA1ZNA024000ACAA split-system air conditioner, carrying factory part number P291-1503. A single run capacitor maintains a continuous phase-shifted electrical current to keep either the compressor or condenser fan motor running at peak efficiency once started. When this component degrades or fails, you'll typically notice symptoms such as a loud humming or buzzing from the outdoor unit, a fan or compressor that won't start, intermittent short-cycling, or a system that trips the breaker shortly after startup. Replacing this capacitor with the correct OEM part restores factory-rated motor performance and protects your compressor from damaging voltage irregularities.

  • Specs: Single run capacitor | Factory-matched MFD rating | 370V or 440V rated (verify on unit data plate) | Round or oval case per OEM spec | ±5% tolerance as factory-specified for Payne PA1ZNA024000ACAA
  • OEM vs Generic: This OEM part (P291-1503) is manufactured to Payne's exact electrical tolerances. Generic alternatives commonly ship with ±10% MFD variance, which accelerates motor winding wear, shortens compressor life, and can void equipment warranties.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power and discharge the capacitor fully before handling — stored charge can be lethal. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter to verify discharge. Photograph all wiring connections before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.
  • Warranty: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Orders placed before cutoff ship the same business day from our stocked warehouse.

Compatibility & Ordering: This capacitor is the direct OEM replacement for Payne model PA1ZNA024000ACAA (2-ton single-stage split-system condenser). Before ordering, confirm the MFD and voltage rating stamped on your existing capacitor or unit data plate to ensure an exact match. Have questions about fitment? Our HVAC parts specialists verify compatibility before every order — in stock and ready to ship today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA1ZNA024000ACAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA1ZNA024000ACAA. 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 PA1ZNA024000ACAA?
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.
