OEM Carrier Draft Inducer Motor with Capacitor HC30GB230 for Model PY1RJA048115AAWA

This OEM draft inducer motor kit (part number HC30GB230) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY1RJA048115AAWA furnace. The draft inducer motor is responsible for purging combustion gases from the heat exchanger before and during the ignition sequence. When this motor fails or degrades, the furnace will enter a hard lockout — typically after the pressure switch fails to close, because the inducer can no longer produce adequate negative pressure. Common symptoms include a no-heat call, continuous lockout codes, the inducer spinning weakly or not at all, or the system short-cycling before ignition.

• Specs: 1/16 HP | 208/230V Single Phase | 3450 RPM | CCWLE rotation | 5/16" × 3.3" shaft | Ball bearing | Thru-bolt mounting | Includes 4 µF 370V run capacitor and hall effect sensor
• OEM Part Numbers Covered: HC30GB230 (primary inducer motor kit) | P291-4554RS (dual run capacitor) | P291-0403 (single run capacitor) | P291-1503 (single run capacitor) — all factory-matched to PY1RJA048115AAWA
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier OEM assembly — motor windings, bearing grade, shaft tolerances, and hall effect sensor calibration are all factory-matched. Aftermarket draft inducer assemblies frequently ship with mismatched capacitor ratings or improperly balanced wheels, causing vibration, premature bearing failure, and pressure switch nuisance trips.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Shut off gas and power before beginning. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, flat-head screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter, and manometer (recommended to verify pressure switch operation post-install). Photograph all wiring and flue connections before disassembly. Discharge the capacitor before handling. Note rotation direction (CCWLE) and confirm wheel seating before powering up.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty on parts and workmanship. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PY1RJA048115AAWA gas furnace. This kit supersedes HC30GB231 and cross-references A.O. Smith #9626 and Fasco equivalent assemblies. Always verify voltage, HP, rotation, and shaft dimensions against your unit's data plate before ordering.
