OEM Payne Dual Run & Start Capacitor Set for Model PA3ANA060000BBAA
This factory-matched capacitor kit includes both the OEM Dual Run Capacitor (P291-7073RS) and Start Capacitor (P281-1766) specified for the Payne PA3ANA060000BBAA 5-ton split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor maintains continuous electrical charge to both the compressor and condenser fan motor during operation, while the start capacitor delivers the extra surge of energy needed to kick the compressor into motion. When either component fails, symptoms include a loud hum with no motor movement, a system that trips the breaker immediately, short-cycling within the first few minutes of operation, or a condenser fan that spins only when manually assisted.

Specs: P291-7073RS — Dual Run Capacitor, 440V rated, round case, factory ±3% MFD tolerance | P281-1766 — Start Capacitor, matched to PA3ANA060000BBAA compressor start requirements | Both rated for R-410A system operating pressures and ambient temperatures
-
OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are manufactured to Payne/ICP factory specifications. Aftermarket alternatives frequently operate at ±10% MFD tolerance, placing excess strain on the compressor windings and condenser fan motor bearings — shortening equipment life and potentially voiding compressor warranties.
-
Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power at the breaker and discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, insulated needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance mode. Photograph all wiring connections before removal. Start capacitor wiring varies — confirm terminal labeling (HERM, FAN, COM) before reconnecting.
-
Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In stock and ships same business day from our HVAC parts warehouse.
Compatibility: Engineered as direct OEM replacements for the Payne PA3ANA060000BBAA 5-ton split-system condenser. Always verify capacitor MFD and voltage ratings against your unit's data plate before installation. Not sure if this is the right fit?
