My gas pack inducer fan motor hums sometimes, does not start turning and the furnace does not turn on. The inducer motor is 2 years old. I can reach in the exhaust port and spin the fan easily. I am thinking it might be the fan capacitor but I cannot locate it. Does it even have one? Any thoughts on the intermittent performance? Sometimes the inducer fan works fine. Last night at 3:30 a.m. with temperature at 23 degrees I am standing outside in the snow and it wasn't working. Carrier model 48ES-A4209030TP. Help! Thanks.
