OEM Carrier Draft Inducer Motor with Capacitor (HC30GB230) for Model PY1PPA036060ADBA

This is the OEM factory-specified draft inducer motor assembly for the Carrier PY1PPA036060ADBA packaged unit. The draft inducer motor is the first component to activate in every heating cycle — it pressurizes the heat exchanger, proves combustion airflow via the pressure switch, and safely exhausts flue gases before the gas valve is allowed to open. When this motor fails or its run capacitor degrades, the furnace section will lock out on a pressure switch fault, often displaying a fault code before any heat is produced. The included 4 µF 370V run capacitor is pre-matched to the motor for correct starting torque and sustained run performance.

• Specs: 1/16 HP | 208/230V, 1-Phase | 3450 RPM | CCW rotation (CCWLE) | 5/16" × 3.3" shaft | Ball bearing | Thru-bolt mounting | Includes hall effect sensor + 4 µF 370V run capacitor
• OEM vs Generic: This OEM assembly meets exact Carrier factory tolerances for airflow, RPM, and capacitor µF rating. Generic motors frequently deviate in rotation direction, shaft length, and capacitor sizing — causing pressure switch nuisance trips or premature motor failure.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Shut off power and gas supply before starting. Tools needed: nut driver set, flat-head screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, manometer (to re-verify pressure switch after replacement). Photograph all wiring and flue connections prior to disassembly. Note: HC30GB230 is superseded by HC30GR231 — both are fully compatible with PY1PPA036060ADBA.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before 3 PM local time.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PY1PPA036060ADBA packaged unit gas/electric section. Also used across many Carrier, Bryant, and Payne packaged and split-system gas furnace applications — verify your unit's data plate voltage (208/230V) and confirm RPM before ordering. Cross-references include AO Smith JF1H102N and superseding OEM part HC30GR231. Questions about fitment? Our HVAC parts specialists verify compatibility before you order — in stock and ships today.
