OEM Payne Run Capacitor Replacement for Model PA12NA036000AGAA

This genuine OEM Payne run capacitor delivers the continuous phase shift your PA12NA036000AGAA needs to keep the compressor and condenser fan motor running efficiently. Run capacitors store and release electrical energy to maintain torque, and a failing capacitor — often shown by a swollen top, leaking oil, or a unit that hums but won't spin — leads to hard starts, overheating, and premature motor failure. Replacing it with the correct microfarad and voltage-rated OEM part restores full motor performance and energy efficiency. This capacitor is matched to the exact MFD and VAC rating specified for your PA12NA036000AGAA, ensuring proper start and run characteristics without guesswork. Installation is a beginner-friendly job, typically 15 minutes with a nut driver and insulated screwdriver. Always disconnect power and discharge the old capacitor safely before removing wires; photograph terminals before disconnecting. A small repair that prevents a costly compressor replacement. In stock and ships same-day on orders placed before 3PM CST.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Run Capacitor fit my Payne Model PA12NA036000AGAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM run capacitor for the Payne Model PA12NA036000AGAA. 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 PA12NA036000AGAA?
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?
