OEM Payne Run Capacitor P291-4554 for Model PA12NA04200GABAA

This OEM Payne dual run capacitor (P291-4554, 45/5 MFD, 440V) supplies the steady electrical phase shift that keeps your air conditioner's compressor and condenser fan motor running smoothly and efficiently. Designed as a direct factory replacement for the Payne PA12NA04200GABAA condensing unit, it delivers the precise microfarad rating your system needs to avoid hard starts, motor strain, and short cycling. A weak or failed run capacitor is the single most common reason an AC unit hums but won't spin up. Swapping it out is an easy DIY repair for most homeowners: cut power at the disconnect, safely discharge the old capacitor, note the terminal labels (HERM, FAN, C), and connect the new one in about 15 minutes. Always verify power is off before handling terminals. A genuine OEM-spec capacitor ensures correct tolerance and UL-listed safety that generics can't guarantee. In stock and ready to ship—orders placed before 3PM CST ship the same business day so you can restore cooling fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Run Capacitor fit my Payne Model PA12NA04200GABAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM run capacitor for the Payne Model PA12NA04200GABAA. 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 PA12NA04200GABAA?
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?
