Lennox 89F38 Motor

The Lennox 89F38 is a high-performance condenser fan motor engineered for residential and light commercial HVAC applications. This 1/4 HP unit operates at a synchronous speed of 825 RPM, providing the high-torque, low-velocity airflow required for efficient heat dissipation in condensing units. Designed as a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor, it features a 48-frame diameter and is compatible with 208-230V single-phase power systems. This motor is a direct equivalent to the Lennox 89F3801 and arrives as a complete kit, including the necessary 7.5 MFD 370V capacitor to ensure immediate, reliable startup under load. The CCWLE rotation (Counter-Clockwise Lead End) and sleeve bearing design cater specifically to vertical mounting positions, minimizing mechanical wear and ensuring quiet operation during peak demand periods. For contractors performing a field Lennox motor replacement, this OEM-spec component maintains system pressure balance and energy efficiency without the integration issues of generic "will-fit" alternatives.

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Engineered to replace 89F3801 models seamlessly, maintaining original factory performance specifications.
• Optimized Airflow: The 825 RPM rating is specifically calibrated for condenser coils requiring high-static pressure movement at lower decibel levels.
• All-In-One Kit: Includes the 7.5 MFD capacitor, eliminating the need for separate component sourcing and ensuring electrical matching.
• Durable 48 Frame: Built with a standard 5.6-inch diameter for universal compatibility with most Lennox vertical-mount fan guards.

Common Questions

Is the 89F38 interchangeable with the 89F3801?
Yes, the Lennox 89F38 is technically identical to the 89F3801 part number. It serves as a direct drop-in replacement for all Lennox residential units requiring these specific electrical and physical parameters.

What capacitor is required for this 1/4 HP motor?
This motor requires a 7.5 MFD / 370V capacitor. For your convenience, the correct capacitor is included with this motor kit to ensure the PSC motor operates within its designated amperage and temperature rise limits.

Can this motor be used in a horizontal mounting application?
The sleeve bearings and internal lubrication system in this condenser motor are optimized for vertical shaft-up or shaft-down mounting. Using this motor in a horizontal orientation can lead to premature bearing failure and is not recommended.
