The draft inducer motor capacitor provides the sustained electrical charge that keeps the inducer motor spinning at proper speed during each heating cycle. Without a functioning capacitor, the inducer motor may hum and fail to start, spin slowly, or trip pressure switches — causing the furnace control board to lock out before ignition is ever attempted.
