ICP 2.0 MFD Round Run Capacitor for WPG3244040RKC1 | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM 2.0 MFD round run capacitor with mounting clamp (part number 1095021) provides the steady phase-shift current that keeps a motor running efficiently on the ICP Tempstar/Heil WPG3244040RKC1 packaged gas unit. A run capacitor stores and releases energy each cycle to maintain torque and reduce motor current draw. As capacitors age they lose capacitance or bulge and fail, causing the motor to run hot, hum without starting, or draw excessive amperage. A weak 2.0 MFD capacitor is a frequent cause of a motor that struggles to spin up or trips on overload. Capacitors are inexpensive and one of the most common HVAC failure points, so replacing a marginal one is cheap insurance.

Specifications

Compatibility

Direct OEM replacement for the ICP Tempstar Heil WPG3244040RKC1 packaged gas system. Always match the microfarad (MFD) and voltage ratings exactly — an incorrect capacitance will shorten motor life or prevent starting.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power and verify zero voltage with a multimeter. Discharge the capacitor across its terminals with an insulated resistor before handling.
2. Access — Remove the service panel to reach the capacitor and its clamp.
3. Document — Photograph the terminal wiring before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Pull the spade terminals, loosen the mounting clamp, and remove the old capacitor.
5. Install — Secure the new capacitor in the clamp and reconnect the terminals per your photo.
6. Test — Restore power and confirm the motor starts smoothly and runs at normal amperage.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Motor hums but will not start spinning.
• Capacitor top is bulged, swollen, or leaking.
• Measured capacitance is out of tolerance versus the 2.0 MFD rating.
• Motor runs hot or trips on overload.
