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 YJ018GA1 — Same-Day Ship | 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 is a genuine OEM round run capacitor (part number 1095021) for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil YJ018GA1 heat pump. Rated at 2.0 MFD and 440 volts, this clamp-mount round capacitor stores and delivers the phase shift needed to keep a small fan or auxiliary motor running smoothly. A weak or failed capacitor is one of the most common causes of a motor that hums but won't start, trips on overload, or runs hot. Replacing it restores correct torque and protects the motor windings from premature burnout.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct OEM fit for the ICP, Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire YJ018GA1 condensing unit. Always confirm the MFD and voltage rating against the capacitor currently installed in your unit before ordering.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the breaker and pull the disconnect; verify zero voltage with a multimeter and discharge the capacitor across its terminals with an insulated resistor.
Access — Remove the condenser service panel to expose the control box.
Document — Photograph all wire connections before disconnecting anything.
Remove — Loosen the mounting clamp, slide out the old round capacitor, and transfer the leads one at a time.
Install — Seat the new capacitor in the clamp, reconnect each terminal exactly per your photo, and tighten the clamp.
Test — Restore power and confirm the motor starts cleanly and runs at the rated amp draw.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my ICP YJ018GA1 — Same-Day Ship | Ships Today?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the ICP YJ018GA1 — Same-Day Ship | 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 YJ018GA1 — Same-Day Ship | 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?
