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| Ball bearing | Thru-bolt mounting | Includes hall effect sensor and 4 MFD/370VAC run capacitor | OEM Part HC30GB230 (superseded by HC30GR231)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.

Compatibility: Engineered for Carrier model PY1RJA048074AAWA packaged units. Related capacitor part numbers for this platform include P291-4554RS (45+5 MFD 440V Dual Run), P291-0403 (Single Run Capacitor), and P291-1503 (Single Run Capacitor) — available separately. Always verify motor voltage, HP, and rotation on the unit data plate before ordering. Not sure this is the right part?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Carrier OEM Carrier Draft Inducer Motor w/ 45+5 MFD Capacitor HC30GB230 — PY1RJA048074A?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Carrier OEM Carrier Draft Inducer Motor w/ 45+5 MFD Capacitor HC30GB230 — PY1RJA048074A. 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 OEM Carrier Draft Inducer Motor w/ 45+5 MFD Capacitor HC30GB230 — PY1RJA048074A?
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?
