What MFD capacitor do I need for my ICP AC?

The correct replacement for ICP model YJ048GB1 — 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 YJ048GB1 — 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 YJ048GB1 heat pump condensing unit. A run capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to give the condenser fan motor the steady phase shift it needs to start and run efficiently. When this 2.0 MFD capacitor weakens or fails, the fan motor may hum without spinning, start slowly, overheat, or stop entirely — leading to a unit that runs hot, trips on high pressure, or fails to cool. Replacing a tired capacitor is one of the most common and lowest-cost HVAC repairs.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct OEM replacement for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil YJ048GB1 heat pump. Always confirm the MFD and voltage rating stamped on your existing capacitor before installing, as units within a series can carry different values.

Installation Guide

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

Signs You Need a Replacement

Condenser fan hums but does not spin
Bulged, leaking, or domed capacitor top
Unit overheats or trips on high-pressure lockout
Measured capacitance has drifted below the 2.0 MFD rating

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my ICP YJ048GB1 — 2.0 MFD Round | Ships Today?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the ICP YJ048GB1 — 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 YJ048GB1 — 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.
