Overview
This is a genuine OEM 2.5 MFD round run capacitor (part #1064218) for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil YK048GC2 condensing unit. The run capacitor provides a continuous phase shift that keeps the motor turning efficiently after start-up. Rated at 2.5 microfarads and 370/440 volts, it ships with the factory mounting clamp for a secure install. A weak or failed run capacitor causes the motor to draw high amperage, overheat, and struggle to start — telltale signs include a humming condenser that won't spin, a fan that needs a manual push, nuisance breaker trips, and a swollen or leaking capacitor can.

Compatibility
Designed as the factory replacement for the ICP YK048GC2 and equivalent Tempstar and Heil units built on the same platform. Confirm the MFD and voltage rating on your existing capacitor before ordering — capacitance must match exactly, and voltage rating may be equal or higher.
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 screwdriver.
- Access — Remove the electrical access panel on the condensing unit.
- Document — Photograph all wire connections before disconnecting anything.
- Remove — Note terminal markings, pull the spade connectors, loosen the mounting clamp, and lift out the old capacitor.
- Install — Seat the new 2.5 MFD capacitor in the clamp, tighten, and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal per your photo.
- Test — Restore power and verify the motor starts immediately and runs without humming or surging.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Motor hums but will not start, or needs a manual spin
- Visible bulging, leaking, or a domed top on the capacitor can
- Out-of-spec MFD reading on a capacitance meter
- Intermittent operation or repeated breaker trips on start-up
