OEM Carrier Draft Inducer Motor Capacitor for Model LC350HE401227

This OEM draft inducer motor capacitor is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier LC350HE401227 furnace. The draft inducer motor capacitor provides the starting and running torque required by the inducer blower motor to purge combustion gases and prove airflow before ignition begins. When this capacitor 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 no-heat lockout condition. Compatible with OEM part numbers 50HE400792 and HC30CL461 (Draft Inducer Motor Assembly w/ Capacitor).

  • Specs: Factory-matched MFD and voltage rating for Carrier LC350HE401227 inducer motor | Round or oval case (OEM spec) | Rated for continuous-duty furnace cycling | ±3% tolerance for precise motor protection
  • OEM vs Generic: This OEM capacitor is manufactured to exact Carrier factory specifications. Generic alternatives frequently fall outside acceptable MFD tolerance (±10% or worse), shortening inducer motor life and causing nuisance pressure switch trips.
  • Install Difficulty: 3/5 — Disconnect power and gas before servicing. The inducer assembly is typically located in the upper vestibule panel. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Always discharge the capacitor fully and photograph all wiring connections before removal.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders placed before cutoff ship the same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Carrier LC350HE401227 furnace as a direct OEM replacement for part numbers 50HE400792 and HC30CL461. Verify the MFD and voltage ratings printed on your existing capacitor against your unit's data plate before ordering. Not sure it fits? Our HVAC parts specialists confirm fitment before you buy — reach out before placing your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier LC350HE401227?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier LC350HE401227. 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 LC350HE401227?
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?
