What MFD capacitor do I need for my ICP AC?

The correct replacement for ICP model YK036G — 370/440V | 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 YK036G — 370/440V | 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 2.5 MFD round run capacitor (part number 1051476) supplies the steady phase-shifted current that keeps a fan or auxiliary motor running smoothly on your ICP, Tempstar, and Heil YK036G system. Rated for 370/440V, this single-value round capacitor stores and releases energy on every cycle. As capacitors age they lose capacitance, bulge, or leak — leaving the motor unable to start or run, drawing high amperage, humming, or overheating. A fresh 2.5 MFD capacitor restores reliable startup and full-speed operation while protecting the motor windings from premature failure.

Compatibility

Direct OEM replacement for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil YK036G and other units originally fitted with the 2.5 MFD capacitor 1051476. Verify the MFD value and voltage stamped on your old capacitor before ordering.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the breaker and disconnect, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
Access — Remove the unit's electrical service panel.
Document — Photograph the capacitor terminals and wiring before disconnecting.
Remove — Safely discharge the old capacitor across its terminals with an insulated resistor, then disconnect the leads and free it from its mounting clamp.
Install — Secure the new 2.5 MFD capacitor in the clamp and reconnect each lead to the correct terminal per your photo.
Test — Restore power and confirm the motor starts and runs at full speed without humming.

Signs You Need a Replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my ICP YK036G — 370/440V | Ships Today?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the ICP YK036G — 370/440V | 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 YK036G — 370/440V | 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.

How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
