OEM Payne Run Capacitor PAY-RC-1800 for Model PA12NA01800GAAAA

This OEM Payne run capacitor (PAY-RC-1800) provides the steady electrical phase shift that keeps the compressor and condenser fan motor running smoothly on your PA12NA01800GAAAA air conditioner. A weak or bulging capacitor is one of the most common causes of a unit that hums but won't start, trips the breaker, or cools poorly. This factory-matched dual-run capacitor delivers the exact microfarad and voltage rating your model requires, restoring proper motor torque and efficiency. Installation is quick and a favorite DIY-friendly repair: disconnect power, discharge the old capacitor safely, note the HERM, FAN, and COMMON terminal wiring, and transfer the leads to the new unit — most people finish in 15 to 20 minutes. Always discharge stored voltage before touching the terminals. Genuine Payne capacitors are built to tolerate the heat and load cycling of real-world outdoor use far better than generic substitutes. In stock now — orders placed before 3PM CST ship the same day so you can beat the heat fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Run Capacitor fit my Payne Model PA12NA01800GAAAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM run capacitor for the Payne Model PA12NA01800GAAAA. 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 run capacitor on my Payne Model PA12NA01800GAAAA?
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 run 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 run 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.
