OEM Payne Dual Run Capacitor P291-7053RS for Model PA3GNA048000AA

This is the factory-specified OEM dual run capacitor for the Payne PA3GNA048000AA 4-ton split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor serves a critical role in your system — it stores and delivers the electrical charge needed to start and continuously run both the compressor and the condenser fan motor. When this component degrades or fails, you'll typically notice symptoms such as a humming condenser with no motor movement, a system that short-cycles within the first few minutes of operation, or a compressor that struggles to start before tripping the breaker. Replacing it promptly protects your compressor from costly hard-start damage.

• Specs: OEM Part Number P291-7053RS | Dual run capacitor | 370V/440V rated | Round case design | Factory-matched MFD tolerance ±3% for precise motor performance
• OEM vs Generic: This OEM unit is manufactured to Payne's exact factory specifications. Generic capacitors commonly run ±10% MFD tolerance, which accelerates wear on both the condenser fan motor and compressor over time — shortening the life of expensive components.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — A straightforward DIY repair for most homeowners. Always discharge the capacitor fully before touching terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting the old capacitor to ensure correct reinstallation.
• Warranty: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders placed before cutoff ship the same business day from our stocked warehouse — no waiting on backorders.

Compatibility: Designed for the Payne PA3GNA048000AA 4-ton split-system air conditioner.
