What MFD capacitor do I need for my ICP AC?

The correct replacement for ICP model YJ048GA2 — 2.0 MFD Round | 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 YJ048GA2 — 2.0 MFD Round | 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 2.0 MFD round run capacitor (ICP part number 1095021) for the ICP YJ048GA2 heat pump condensing unit. A run capacitor provides the steady phase shift the condenser fan motor needs to start smoothly and run efficiently. As the capacitor ages and loses capacitance, the fan motor may hum without turning, start slowly, draw high amps, or stop altogether — causing the unit to overheat, trip on high pressure, or lose cooling capacity. Swapping a weak capacitor is a fast, inexpensive fix.

Specifications

Spec	Value
Part Number	1095021
Type	Single-Run, Round
Brand	ICP
Capacitance	2.0 MFD
Voltage Rating	370/440 VAC

Compatibility

Designed as a direct OEM replacement for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil YJ048GA2 heat pump. Confirm the MFD and voltage rating printed on your existing capacitor before installing, since values can differ within a series.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the outdoor disconnect and verify zero voltage with a multimeter. Discharge the capacitor across its terminals with an insulated resistor before handling.
Access — Remove the condenser service panel to expose the capacitor.
Document — Photograph all wire connections before disconnecting.
Remove — Note terminal markings, pull the spade connectors, and unclamp the old round capacitor from its bracket.
Install — Secure the new 2.0 MFD capacitor in the bracket and reconnect each wire exactly per your photo.
Test — Restore power and verify the fan motor spins up smoothly and the unit cools.

Signs You Need a Replacement

Condenser fan hums but does not spin

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my ICP YJ048GA2 — 2.0 MFD Round | Ships Today?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the ICP YJ048GA2 — 2.0 MFD Round | 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 YJ048GA2 — 2.0 MFD Round | 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?

Orders placed before 3:00 PM CST ship the same business day. Standard delivery is 2–5 business days anywhere in the continental United States. Express shipping available at checkout. We ship from Houston, TX to all 50 states. 30-day return policy on all parts.
