For service calls requiring a robust replacement in high-static applications, the Lennox 88C74 is the definitive OEM condenser fan motor for restoring system pressure and thermal exchange efficiency. This industrial-grade 1HP 230V 1Ph motor is engineered specifically for Lennox and Allied equipment, ensuring the exact torque profile and RPM necessary to maintain factory-spec airflow. Operating at 1080 RPM with a 48Y frame, this motor provides the reliability needed for 24/7 demanding duty cycles. Known in technical catalogs as Lennox 88C7401, this unit features a 4.5-inch shaft length and standard CCWLE rotation, making it a direct-drop replacement that eliminates mounting headaches in the field. When performing this AC fan motor replacement, we recommend a fresh 10 MFD 370V/440V run capacitor to prevent premature winding failure and ensure optimal starting torque.

Key Benefits for Technicians:
  • Precise OEM Match: Fully interchangeable with Lennox 88C7401, ensuring zero-modification mounting and electrical compatibility.
  • Optimized Thermal Performance: Rated at 1HP and 1080 RPM to handle high-ambient head pressures without tripping internal overloads.
  • Durable Construction: Features a 48Y frame and a 4.5" shaft designed to withstand the vibration and exposure common in outdoor condensing units.
  • Quiet Operation: Balanced internal components reduce harmonic noise and mechanical wear, extending the service life of the fan assembly.
Common Questions:

Is the 88C74 compatible with the 88C7401?
Yes, these part numbers are technically identical and serve as direct replacements for the same Lennox condenser applications.

Should I replace the capacitor at the same time?
Standard field practice dictates replacing the run capacitor whenever a new condenser fan motor is installed. A weakened capacitor can lead to overheating and high-amp draws that shorten motor life.

What is the rotation for this motor?
This 1HP unit typically operates with a CCWLE (Counter-Clockwise Lead End) orientation. Always verify your specific fan blade pitch before finalizing the install.
