OEM Payne Run Capacitor (Dual & Single) for Model PA2PNB024000AA

This OEM-matched run capacitor is the factory-specified replacement for the Payne PA2PNB024000AA split-system air conditioner. Available as a Dual Run Capacitor (P291-4054) supporting both the compressor and condenser fan motor, or as a Single Run Capacitor (P291-1503) for standalone motor support. The capacitor stores and releases the electrical charge needed to start and sustain motor operation. When a capacitor fails, symptoms include a loud humming sound with no motor movement, the unit short-cycling within minutes of startup, warm air blowing from supply vents, or a compressor that trips on thermal overload. Catching a failing capacitor early prevents far costlier compressor and motor replacements.

  • Specs: OEM Part Numbers: P291-4054 (Dual Run) | P291-1503 (Single Run) | 370V/440V rated (verify data plate) | Factory-matched MFD tolerance ±3% | Round case, industry-standard terminal configuration
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are wound to exact factory MFD tolerances, ensuring proper motor start torque and run efficiency. Generic alternatives often carry ±10% tolerance, which accelerates winding wear on your compressor and fan motor and can void equipment warranties.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter capable of MFD reading. Photograph all wiring connections before removal. Capacitors store lethal voltage even after power is disconnected — if unsure, consult a licensed HVAC technician.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders placed before cutoff ship same business day from our stocked warehouse — no waiting on backorders.

Compatibility & Ordering: Both capacitor variants listed here are direct OEM replacements for the Payne PA2PNB024000AA residential split-system condenser. Select P291-4054 if your unit uses a shared dual run capacitor for the compressor and condenser fan, or P291-1503 if replacing a dedicated single run capacitor. Always confirm the MFD rating and voltage printed on your existing capacitor's label before ordering. Our fitment team is available to verify compatibility before you buy — don't guess on a critical electrical component.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA2PNB024000AA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA2PNB024000AA. 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 PA2PNB024000AA?
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.
