OEM Carrier Draft Inducer Motor Capacitor for Model LC3:50HE400802

This is the factory-specified OEM run capacitor for the draft inducer motor assembly on the Carrier LC3:50HE400802 furnace. The draft inducer motor capacitor provides the phase-shifting electrical charge required to start and sustain the inducer blower, which evacuates combustion gases before and during each heating cycle. When this capacitor degrades or fails, the inducer motor may hum without spinning, run sluggishly, or fail to prove combustion airflow — triggering a pressure switch fault and locking out the entire furnace. Compatible with OEM part numbers HC30CK235 and HC30CR230, both listed by Carrier as Draft Inducer Motor w/ Capacitor assemblies; this capacitor is the standalone replacement component within that assembly.

  • Specs: OEM-matched MFD rating and 370V/440V voltage rating for the LC3:50HE400802 inducer motor | Round or oval case depending on production run | Factory ±5% tolerance for reliable motor starting | Replaces capacitor component within HC30CK235 and HC30CR230 assemblies
  • OEM vs Generic: This OEM capacitor meets Carrier's exact factory tolerance specifications. Aftermarket capacitors frequently ship with ±10% MFD variance, causing inducer motor overheating, premature winding failure, and nuisance pressure switch trips — costing far more in callbacks and motor replacements than the price difference.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Recommended tools: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting. Turn off power at the disconnect and breaker before beginning work.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before 3 PM local time.

Compatibility & Fitment: Engineered for the Carrier LC3:50HE400802 furnace draft inducer motor circuit. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage printed on your existing capacitor or inducer motor data label before ordering. Cross-references OEM part numbers HC30CK235 and HC30CR230.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier LC3:50HE400802?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier LC3:50HE400802. 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 Carrier LC3:50HE400802?
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 Carrier 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 Carrier 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.
