OEM Payne Dual Run & Single Run Capacitor for Model PA2PNB030000AA

These OEM replacement run capacitors — P291-4553 (Dual Run) and P291-1503 (Single Run) — are the factory-specified components for the Payne PA2PNB030000AA split-system air conditioner. Run capacitors store and release the electrical energy required to start and maintain operation of the compressor and condenser fan motor. A failing capacitor is one of the most common causes of AC failure in the field: symptoms include a distinct humming sound with no motor movement, the system tripping the breaker shortly after startup, or the condenser fan spinning slowly or not at all. Replacing with an OEM-matched part ensures your system returns to factory efficiency and rated lifespan.

  • Specs: P291-4553 — Dual Run Capacitor, 370V/440V rated round case, factory-matched MFD tolerance ±3% | P291-1503 — Single Run Capacitor, 370V/440V rated, designed for dedicated compressor or fan motor circuit
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors from Payne (ICP/Carrier family) are manufactured to exact MFD tolerances. Aftermarket units commonly drift ±10% MFD from spec, placing excess strain on compressor windings and reducing motor service life — a risk not worth taking on a sealed refrigeration system.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power at the breaker and discharge the capacitor terminals fully before handling. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph all wiring connections before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty on both P291-4553 and P291-1503. Orders ship same business day from our stocked warehouse.

Compatibility: Both capacitors are factory-matched to the Payne PA2PNB030000AA 2.5-ton split-system condenser. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage printed on your existing capacitor's label or the unit data plate before ordering. Not sure which capacitor your unit needs?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA2PNB030000AA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA2PNB030000AA. 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 PA2PNB030000AA?
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?
