What MFD capacitor do I need for my ICP AC?

The correct replacement for ICP model WCH460GKA210 — Round | 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 WCH460GKA210 — Round | 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 #1186266) is rated 80 + 7.5 MFD at 440V and serves the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WCH460GKA210 condensing unit. A dual run capacitor provides the running torque for two loads at once — the 80 MFD side supports the compressor and the 7.5 MFD side supports the condenser fan motor. Capacitors are the single most common failure point in an outdoor unit: heat, age, and voltage stress cause them to lose capacitance, bulge, or short. When that happens the compressor and fan may hum but fail to start, or the unit trips the breaker. Replacing a weak capacitor is the fastest, lowest-cost fix that restores full starting torque.

Compatibility

Direct OEM fit for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WCH460GKA210 and shared ICP-family condensing units. A 440V capacitor safely replaces a 370V unit of the same MFD rating. Verify the MFD values stamped on your old capacitor before installing.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power, wait, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter at the capacitor terminals.
Access — Remove the outdoor unit's electrical access panel.
Document — Photograph the terminal wiring (C / HERM / FAN) before touching any leads.
Remove — Discharge the capacitor across its terminals with an insulated screwdriver, then mark and remove the wires and mounting strap.
Install — Mount the new capacitor, reconnect C, HERM, and FAN exactly per your photo.
Test — Restore power and confirm the compressor and condenser fan start cleanly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my ICP WCH460GKA210 — Round | Ships Today?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the ICP WCH460GKA210 — Round | 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 WCH460GKA210 — Round | 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.
