What MFD capacitor do I need for my Carrier AC?

The correct replacement for Carrier model LC348LC400007 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 Carrier equipment which lists the model number LC348LC400007.

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 Carrier 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.

OEM Carrier Draft Inducer Motor Capacitor for Model LC348LC400007

This is the factory OEM run capacitor paired with the draft inducer motor assembly on the Carrier LC348LC400007 furnace. The draft inducer motor capacitor provides the phase-shifted electrical current needed to start and sustain the inducer blower that evacuates combustion gases before and during each heat cycle. When this capacitor weakens or fails, the inducer motor will hum without spinning, fail to reach operating speed, or cause the control board to lock out on a pressure switch fault — because a sluggish inducer cannot prove adequate draft. OEM part numbers HC30CK235 and HC30CR230 both reference this capacitor as part of the draft inducer motor with capacitor assembly.

Specs: OEM-matched MFD and voltage rating for Carrier LC348LC400007 inducer motor | Factory ±3% capacitance tolerance | Designed for continuous-duty inducer motor operation | Replaces HC30CK235 and HC30CR230 capacitor component
OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are wound to the exact microfarad rating the inducer motor requires. Off-spec generic capacitors can cause the motor to run hot, reduce RPM below the threshold needed to close the pressure switch, and significantly shorten motor life — turning a $50 repair into a $300+ motor replacement.
Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Discharge the capacitor before handling any terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (to verify discharge and confirm capacitance). Always photograph existing wiring before disconnecting. Inducer capacitors are typically mounted on or adjacent to the motor bracket inside the furnace cabinet.
Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Orders placed before cutoff ship same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Carrier LC348LC400007 furnace draft inducer motor assembly. Cross-references OEM part numbers HC30CK235 and HC30CR230. Always verify your existing capacitor's MFD and voltage rating against your unit's data plate before ordering. Our parts specialists are available to confirm fitment — just reach out before you buy. In stock and ready to ship today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier LC348LC400007?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier LC348LC400007. 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 LC348LC400007?

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?
