Upgrade or service your Lennox condensing unit with the Lennox 89M76 Dual Run Capacitor, the factory-specified replacement for the legacy 89M7601 part number. This heavy-duty 45+5 MFD 370V capacitor is engineered for high-demand HVACR applications, providing the phase-shifting torque necessary for the compressor and the condenser fan motor to initiate and maintain efficient operation. Built with a durable round aluminum casing and high-grade metallized film dielectric, the 89M76 ensures minimal ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and thermal stability during peak summer loads.

As a veteran technician knows, matching the exact 45/5 microfarad rating is critical for maintaining the specific motor winding impedance required by Lennox and Armstrong systems. This 370 VAC round capacitor features standard ¼-inch male quick-connect terminals clearly marked for HERM, FAN, and C (Common) to ensure a fast, error-free installation. Replacing a weak or "bulged" capacitor with this OEM Lennox 89M76 prevents excessive amperage draw, protecting your equipment from premature motor failure and ensuring the system operates at its designed SEER efficiency.

Key Benefits
  • OEM Compatibility: Precision-engineered as a direct replacement for 89M7601 and 100335-08 in Lennox residential and light commercial platforms.
  • Dual-Run Efficiency: Supports both the compressor (45 MFD) and condenser fan motor (5 MFD) from a single compact component.
  • Optimized Performance: Maintains the required phase angle to maximize motor torque and reduce wasted energy.
  • Rugged Construction: Designed for reliability in harsh outdoor environments with high-tolerance electrical internal components.
Common Questions

Can I use a 440V capacitor to replace the 370V Lennox 89M76?
Yes. While you must never use a capacitor with a lower voltage rating, a 440V capacitor is a safe upgrade for a 370V circuit, provided the 45+5 MFD capacitance remains identical.

How do I know if the 89M76 needs replacement?
Check for physical swelling, oil leaks, or use a multimeter to measure the capacitance between the Common and HERM/FAN terminals. If the reading is outside the standard ±5% or ±10% tolerance, replacement is required to protect the motors.

Is the 89M76 compatible with Armstrong or Ducane units?
Yes, since Lennox is the parent company, this 45/5 370V capacitor is frequently found in Armstrong and Ducane condensing units specifying these same electrical characteristics.
