What MFD capacitor do I need for my ICP AC?

The correct replacement for ICP model YK060G — 2.5 MFD | 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 YK060G — 2.5 MFD | 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 (part #1051476) for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil YK060G condensing unit. The run capacitor stores and discharges electrical energy to keep the fan or auxiliary motor running smoothly after start-up. Rated at 2.5 microfarads and 370/440 volts, it ships with the factory mounting clamp for a secure, rattle-free install. When a run capacitor weakens or fails, the motor it serves draws excessive amperage, overheats, and may fail to start — common symptoms include a humming condenser that won't spin, a fan that needs a push to start, frequent breaker trips, and a bulged or leaking capacitor can.

Compatibility

Designed as the factory replacement for the ICP YK060G and equivalent Tempstar and Heil units built on the same platform. Always 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

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my ICP YK060G — 2.5 MFD | Ships Today?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the ICP YK060G — 2.5 MFD | 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 YK060G — 2.5 MFD | 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?
