OEM Carrier Draft Inducer Motor Capacitor for Model LC350HE400812

This is the factory-specified OEM run capacitor paired with the draft inducer motor assembly on the Carrier LC350HE400812 furnace. The draft inducer motor capacitor provides the start and run torque required to spin the inducer blower — the component responsible for venting combustion gases before and during the heating cycle. When this capacitor weakens or fails, the inducer motor may hum without spinning, run sluggishly, or fail to reach operating speed, causing the pressure switch to never close and leaving the furnace in a pre-ignition lockout with no heat delivered to the home.

  • Specs: Designed for draft inducer motor use | Matches factory MFD and voltage rating for Carrier LC350HE400812 | Cylindrical run capacitor form factor | Replaces OEM part numbers 50HE400792 (Draft Inducer Motor Assembly w/ Capacitor) and HC30CL461 (Draft Inducer Motor w/ Capacitor)
  • OEM vs Generic: This OEM capacitor is manufactured to exact factory MFD tolerance (±5%), ensuring the inducer motor reaches correct RPM and does not overload windings. Generic alternatives commonly run outside tolerance, shortening motor life and triggering nuisance pressure switch faults.
  • Install difficulty: 3/5 — Inducer motor capacitors are mounted within the inducer housing or nearby bracket. Tools needed: Phillips and flathead screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (to verify discharge). Always shut off power at the breaker and discharge the capacitor fully before disconnecting terminals. Photograph wiring orientation before removal.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Orders placed before cutoff ship same business day from our stocked warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Carrier LC350HE400812 furnace draft inducer motor assembly. Cross-references OEM part numbers 50HE400792 and HC30CL461. Verify your existing capacitor's MFD and voltage rating against your unit's data plate before ordering to confirm fitment. Have questions about compatibility? Our HVAC parts specialists verify fitment before you place your order — same-day shipping available on all in-stock components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier LC350HE400812?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier LC350HE400812. 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 LC350HE400812?
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.
