OEM Carrier Draft Inducer Motor with Capacitor (HC30GB230 / HC30GR231) for Model PY1RJA048074AAWA

This OEM draft inducer motor with integrated run capacitor is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY1RJA048074AAWA packaged unit. The draft inducer creates the negative pressure differential needed to pull combustion air through the heat exchanger and vent flue gases safely outdoors before ignition begins. When the inducer motor fails, the pressure switch cannot prove airflow — resulting in ignition lockout, a no-heat condition, or repeated short-cycling fault codes. A failed or weakened run capacitor on the motor is a common root cause of inducer drag and bearing wear.

• Specs: 1/16 HP | 208/230V | 1-Phase | 3450 RPM | CCWLE rotation | 5/16" × 3.3" shaft | Ball bearing | Thru-bolt mounting | Includes hall effect sensor and 4 MFD/370VAC run capacitor | OEM Part HC30GB230 (superseded by HC30GR231)
• OEM vs Generic: OEM Carrier inducer motors are precision-balanced and hall-effect verified at the factory, ensuring the control board receives accurate RPM feedback. Generic motors frequently lack hall effect sensors or use inferior bearings, leading to premature failure and nuisance pressure switch lockouts.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — De-energize and lock out the unit before beginning. Disconnect the hall effect sensor harness, pressure switch tubing, and wiring leads before unbolting the motor. Tools needed: nut driver set, needle-nose pliers, multimeter, torque screwdriver. Confirm CCW rotation and verify pressure switch operation after installation. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against manufacturing defects. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.
