OEM Carrier Draft Inducer Motor with Capacitor 1/16HP 208/230V 3450RPM for Model PY1PNA048120AEBA

This OEM Carrier draft inducer motor assembly (part# HC30GB230) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY1PNA048120AEBA gas furnace. The draft inducer motor creates the negative pressure needed to pull combustion gases safely through the heat exchanger and out the flue before and during each heating cycle. When this motor fails, the furnace will typically lock out before ignition — the inducer will either fail to start, run intermittently, or trip the pressure switch due to insufficient airflow, resulting in a no-heat call. This complete assembly ships with the matched run capacitor and hall effect sensor, ensuring a drop-in OEM replacement with no guesswork.

• Specs: 1/16 HP | 208/230V | 3450 RPM | 1-Phase | Includes 4 µF 370V run capacitor and hall effect sensor | A.O. Smith model JF1H102N
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier OEM assembly matched to factory tolerances. Generic inducer motors often differ in flange geometry, shaft length, or RPM calibration — causing pressure switch faults or premature bearing failure. OEM is the correct choice for this application.
• Install Difficulty: 3/5 — Disconnect power and gas before beginning. Tools needed: nut driver set, Phillips screwdriver, pipe sealant, multimeter. Disconnect the flue outlet, detach the motor wiring harness and capacitor leads (photograph before removal), unbolt the motor flange from the inducer housing, and reverse to install. Verify rotation direction before final reassembly.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered by 3 PM local time.

Compatibility: Engineered for Carrier model PY1PNA048120AEBA gas furnace. Note: HC30GB230 has been discontinued by the manufacturer — the current factory-authorized successor is HC30GR231, which is a direct drop-in replacement included in this listing. Verify your unit's data plate voltage (208/230V) before ordering. Have questions about fitment? Our HVAC parts specialists verify compatibility before you buy — no guesswork, no returns.
