OEM Carrier Draft Inducer Motor Capacitor for Model LC3:50LC400465

This OEM run capacitor is the factory-specified replacement for the draft inducer motor assembly on the Carrier LC3:50LC400465 furnace. The inducer motor capacitor provides the phase-shifted current needed to start and sustain the draft inducer blower that purges combustion gases before and during each heating cycle. When this capacitor fails, the inducer motor will hum without spinning, fail to reach operating speed, or cause the pressure switch to never close — resulting in a no-heat lockout condition. Replaces OEM part numbers HC30CK235 and HC30CR230.

  • Specs: Factory-matched MFD and voltage rating for Carrier LC3:50LC400465 inducer motor | 370V/440V rated round or oval case | OEM ±3% capacitance tolerance for precise motor performance
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are wound to exact factory specifications, ensuring correct starting torque for the inducer motor. Generic units with loose ±10% tolerance can cause the inducer to run slow, triggering nuisance pressure switch trips and premature motor failure.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Discharge capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter with capacitance setting. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting. Always shut off power at the disconnect and breaker before beginning work.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier LC3:50LC400465 furnace draft inducer motor assembly. This capacitor corresponds to OEM part numbers HC30CK235 and HC30CR230. Verify the MFD and voltage ratings on your existing capacitor or motor data plate before ordering. Not sure it fits? Our HVAC parts specialists confirm fitment before you buy — call or chat today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier LC3:50LC400465?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier LC3:50LC400465. 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 LC3:50LC400465?
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.
