OEM Payne Run Capacitor HC98JA046 for Model PA3ANA048000BAAA

Get your air conditioner running strong again with this genuine OEM Payne dual run capacitor (part HC98JA046), the factory-specified component for the PA3ANA048000BAAA 4-ton condenser. This 45+5 MFD, 440-volt round capacitor delivers the electrical phase shift that the compressor and outdoor fan motor rely on to start and run efficiently. When a capacitor weakens, bulges, or leaks, the unit often hums without starting, the fan turns slowly, or the compressor overheats and trips the breaker. Installing a fresh, correctly sized capacitor restores full starting torque and protects both motors from costly damage. This repair is beginner-friendly: turn off power, safely discharge the old capacitor, photograph the HERM, FAN, and C terminals, and move each lead to the matching tab. Most homeowners are done in 15 to 20 minutes with a single tool. This is the authentic Payne dual-rated capacitor matched precisely to your model, not a generic stand-in. We ship same-day on orders placed before 3PM CST, so you can restore cooling without waiting days for a replacement to arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Run Capacitor fit my Payne Model PA3ANA048000BAAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM run capacitor for the Payne Model PA3ANA048000BAAA. 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 PA3ANA048000BAAA?
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?
