What MFD capacitor do I need for my ICP AC?

The correct replacement for ICP model RHS243S0EA0AAAA — OEM 1183001 | Ships Today is this exact part. It is the factory-specified replacement with exact OEM specifications. Using a part with different specifications can cause equipment damage or void your warranty. You can verify this by checking the data plate on your ICP equipment which lists the model number RHS243S0EA0AAAA — OEM 1183001 | Ships Today.

My AC hums but will not start. What part do I need?

An AC that hums but will not start is the classic symptom of a failed capacitor. The capacitor provides the electrical boost needed to start the compressor and fan motors. When it fails, you hear the hum of the motor trying to start but it cannot overcome inertia. Other symptoms include the fan spinning slowly, the AC cycling on and off rapidly, or a visibly swollen or leaking capacitor. Replacement cost: $15 to $80 for the part, DIY in 30 minutes.

Overview

This OEM dual run capacitor (part number 1183001, "Capacitor Plate") is a factory replacement for the ICP RHS243S0EA0AAAA heat pump condensing unit. A dual run capacitor delivers the electrical charge that both starts and continuously runs the compressor and condenser fan motor from one component. Rated at 35+5 MFD and 440V, it supplies the phase shift these motors need to run efficiently and without overheating. As a run capacitor degrades, the compressor may hum without starting, the condenser fan may turn slowly or stall, the breaker may trip, and the system may short-cycle. Installing a fresh capacitor restores full heating and cooling output and protects the motors from early failure.

Specifications

Compatibility

Engineered for the ICP RHS243S0EA0AAAA, this capacitor also fits the equivalent Tempstar, Heil, and Comfortmaker condensing units on the same platform. Always confirm the MFD and voltage rating printed on your existing capacitor before installing.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter. Capacitors hold a charge.
Access — Remove the condenser unit's electrical access panel.
Document — Photograph all wire connections (HERM, FAN, C) before disconnecting anything.
Remove — Discharge the old capacitor across its terminals with an insulated resistor, then disconnect the leads and unfasten the mounting strap.
Install — Mount the new capacitor and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal per your photo.
Test — Restore power and verify the compressor and condenser fan start and run normally.

Signs You Need a Replacement

Compressor or fan hums but will not start
Condenser fan spins slowly or intermittently
Bulging, leaking, or burst capacitor top
System short-cycles or trips the breaker on startup

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my ICP RHS243S0EA0AAAA — OEM 1183001 | Ships Today?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the ICP RHS243S0EA0AAAA — OEM 1183001 | Ships Today. 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 capacitor on my ICP RHS243S0EA0AAAA — OEM 1183001 | Ships Today?

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 capacitor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

Many ICP 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 ICP 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.
