What MFD capacitor do I need for my ICP AC?

The correct replacement for ICP model RHS181S0CA0AAAA — 45+5 MFD 440V | 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 RHS181S0CA0AAAA — 45+5 MFD 440V | 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) with its oval mounting clamp (part number 1171552) is the correct replacement for the ICP Tempstar Heil RHS181S0CA0AAAA heat pump. A dual run capacitor stores and delivers the phase shift needed to start and run both the compressor and the condenser fan motor. Rated at 45+5 MFD and 440V, a failing capacitor is the single most common cause of a no-cool / no-heat call — the fan may hum but not spin, or the compressor may fail to start.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power, then discharge the capacitor and verify zero voltage with a multimeter across all terminals.
Access — Remove the outdoor unit's electrical panel cover.
Document — Photograph the HERM, FAN, and C wire connections before removing them.
Remove — Pull the spade connectors, loosen the oval mounting strap, and lift out the old capacitor.
Install — Secure the new capacitor with the oval clamp and reconnect each lead to its matching terminal per your photo.
Test — Restore power and confirm the fan spins and the compressor starts smoothly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

Condenser fan hums but does not spin
Compressor tries to start, clicks, then trips
Bulging, leaking, or burst capacitor top
Weak cooling/heating and high amp draw

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my ICP RHS181S0CA0AAAA — 45+5 MFD 440V | Ships Today?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the ICP RHS181S0CA0AAAA — 45+5 MFD 440V | 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 RHS181S0CA0AAAA — 45+5 MFD 440V | 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.
