What MFD capacitor do I need for my ICP AC?

The correct replacement for ICP model RGS303HREA0AAAA — 370V Blower | 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 RGS303HREA0AAAA — 370V Blower | 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 run capacitor (part number 1183001) provides the start and run phase shift for the blower motor on the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS303HREA0AAAA gas furnace. Rated at 5 MFD / 370V, the capacitor stores and releases the charge that keeps the motor turning efficiently. A weak or failed capacitor causes the blower to hum without starting, run hot, draw high amperage, or shut down on thermal overload. Capacitors are an inexpensive, high-failure wear part and should be tested with a meter whenever a motor is slow to start or not starting at all.

Compatibility

Direct OEM replacement for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS303HREA0AAAA gas furnace and parts-compatible RGS-series units using a 5 MFD 370V blower capacitor. Confirm the MFD and voltage rating printed on your existing capacitor before ordering; a 370V part can replace a 370V or lower-rated original.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the switch and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter. Discharge the capacitor across its terminals before handling.
Access — Remove the furnace blower-compartment service panel.
Document — Photograph the terminal wiring before disconnecting.
Remove — Pull the leads, loosen the mounting strap, and remove the old capacitor.
Install — Secure the new 5 MFD capacitor and reconnect the leads exactly per your photo.
Test — Restore power and confirm the blower starts immediately and runs smoothly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

Blower hums but will not start spinning.
Motor runs hot or trips on thermal overload.
Bulging, leaking, or swollen capacitor top.
Capacitance reads out of range (below ~4.5 MFD) on a meter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my ICP RGS303HREA0AAAA — 370V Blower | Ships Today?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the ICP RGS303HREA0AAAA — 370V Blower | 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 RGS303HREA0AAAA — 370V Blower | 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?
