What MFD capacitor do I need for my Tempstar AC?

The correct replacement for Tempstar model TCA760GKA200 — 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 Tempstar equipment which lists the model number TCA760GKA200 — 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.

Is this capacitor compatible with Bryant or Payne systems too?

Many Tempstar parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne systems since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across multiple brand labels with different model numbers. To verify cross-compatibility, check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or contact info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number for confirmation.

Overview

This is a genuine OEM dual run capacitor (part #1185266) for the Tempstar TCA760GKA200 condensing unit. Rated at 40+7.5 MFD and 440 volts, this dual capacitor provides the starting and running torque for both the compressor (40 MFD side) and the condenser fan motor (7.5 MFD side) in a single component. The capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to keep both motors running efficiently. When a run capacitor weakens or fails, the system draws excessive amperage, overheats, and can damage the compressor. Common failure symptoms include a unit that hums but won't start, a condenser fan that spins slowly or not at all, frequent breaker trips, and a visibly bulged or leaking capacitor top.

Compatibility

Engineered for the Tempstar TCA760GKA200 air conditioning condenser and shared across many ICP / Tempstar / Heil / Comfortmaker condensing units that specify a 40+7.5 MFD 440V dual capacitor. Always confirm your existing capacitor's MFD and voltage rating against the data plate before ordering.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect and breaker, then discharge the old capacitor across its terminals with an insulated screwdriver and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
Access — Remove the condenser service panel.
Document — Photograph all wires (HERM, FAN, C) before disconnecting.
Remove — Note terminal positions, pull the spade connectors, and unfasten the mounting strap.
Install — Mount the new capacitor, then reconnect HERM, FAN, and Common exactly per your photo.
Test — Restore power and verify the compressor and condenser fan start promptly and run smoothly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

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 Tempstar 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 Tempstar 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?
