Lennox 41W49 Motor

When you're out on a service call for a Lennox unit, you need a drop-in replacement that matches original equipment specs exactly. The Lennox 41W49 Motor is a high-performance 1/8 HP HVAC motor designed for continuous air-over duty in specific residential and commercial applications. Operating at a nominal 1075 RPM, this permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor delivers the reliable torque required for efficient condenser fan operation.

This unit is engineered for 208-230V single-phase systems and features a 48Y frame with a 1/2-inch diameter by 3-inch long shaft for seamless mechanical integration. The CWLE rotation and stud mounting configuration ensure that field installation remains straightforward. As a veteran tech, you know that performance is only as good as the electrical protection; this motor includes automatic thermal overload protection and is rated for Insulation Class B. Utilizing a 5 MFD at 370 VAC capacitor (sold separately), the 41W49 provides the consistent startup and running amperage (0.9 Amps) necessary to maintain system pressures in demanding environments.

Key Benefits:

• Direct OEM Replacement: Matches Lennox 41W49 and 47477-001 specifications, eliminating the need for mounting bracket modifications.
• Industrial Grade Build: Features a TEAO (Totally Enclosed Air Over) design to protect internal windings from environmental debris.
• Optimized Efficiency: 1/8 HP 1075 RPM rating balanced for quiet operation and long-term cooling performance.
• Thermal Safety: Integrated automatic reset thermal protection prevents winding burnout during high-ambient cycles.
• Standardized Frame: Utilizes a 48Y frame motor housing for universal compatibility across various Lennox condenser models.

Common Questions:

What capacitor is required for the Lennox 41W49?
This motor requires a 5 MFD / 370V run capacitor. It is standard best practice to replace the capacitor whenever you install a new motor to ensure optimal starting torque and efficiency.

Does this motor replace the 46K89 or R47477-001?
Yes, the 41W49 is the direct technical successor to those part numbers. Always verify the physical dimensions and voltage on the existing nameplate before installation.

Can this motor be used in 460V applications?
No, this specific model is rated for 208-230V 1-Phase power. Using this motor on a 460V circuit will lead to immediate electrical failure.
