What MFD capacitor do I need for my ICP AC?

The correct replacement for ICP model YG048GA2 — 370V | 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 YG048GA2 — 370V | 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 2.5 MFD round run capacitor (OEM part #1064218) for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil YG048GA2 heat pump. A run capacitor provides the continuous phase shift a motor needs to keep spinning efficiently — in this application it supports the condenser fan motor. When a run capacitor weakens or fails, the motor draws excess current, runs hot, hums without starting, or stops entirely. A 2.5 MFD capacitor is a low-microfarad single-run unit rated at 370 volts, sized specifically for the fan circuit on this unit. Symptoms of a failing capacitor include a fan that won't start but spins freely by hand, a humming or buzzing condenser, intermittent cooling, a tripped breaker, or a visibly bulged or leaking capacitor top.

Compatibility

Engineered for the ICP, Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker, and Arcoair YG048GA2 model and family. Always confirm the microfarad and voltage rating printed on your old capacitor before replacing.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter. Discharge the old capacitor across its terminals with an insulated resistor before touching it.
Access — Remove the condenser service panel.
Document — Photograph all wire connections before disconnecting.
Remove — Note terminal positions, disconnect the spade wires, and loosen the mounting clamp to free the old capacitor.
Install — Mount the new 2.5 MFD capacitor, secure the clamp, and reconnect each wire to match your photo.
Test — Restore power and confirm the fan starts and runs smoothly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

Fan motor hums but won't start until spun by hand

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the ICP YG048GA2 — 370V | 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 YG048GA2 — 370V | 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?
