The Lennox 56L68 is a heavy-duty K20 blower relay engineered for precise airflow management in residential and commercial HVAC systems. This 24V SPDT relay (Single Pole Double Throw) provides reliable switching for blower motors, allowing a low-voltage control signal to efficiently manage high-power line circuits. It is functionally identical to the Lennox 56L6801 and serves as a direct OEM replacement part for aging or sticking furnace relays in various Lennox-brand air handlers and furnaces.

Designed for professional-grade reliability, the 56L68 features a rugged "ice cube" style construction that handles high-cycle demands without premature contact pitting. This HVAC blower motor relay is rated for multiple voltage applications, including 15A at 277VAC and up to 3HP at 600VAC, making it a versatile component for your truck stock. Whether you are dealing with a blower that won’t engage or one that runs constantly due to welded contacts, this 24VAC control relay ensures the system returns to its original sequence of operation.

Key Benefits for Contractors:
  • Broad Compatibility: Direct replacement for the Lennox 56L6801, 69J56, and 69J5601 across Lennox, Allied, and Ducane equipment.
  • Industrial-Grade Contacts: SPDT configuration supports both normally open and normally closed circuits for versatile fan control.
  • Compact Footprint: Standard plug-in design allows for fast installation in tight control cabinets and motor compartments.
  • Multi-Rating Performance: Reliable switching for motors up to 15 Amps, ensuring long-term durability under heavy inductive loads.
Common Questions:

Will this work if my fan only runs in 'On' mode but not 'Auto'?
Yes. If the thermostat signal is present at the G terminal but the blower fails to engage in the automatic cycle, a failed 24V relay coil or open contacts in the 56L68 are common culprits.

Is the 56L6801 high-speed compatible?
This relay is frequently used to manage high-speed cooling taps or heat speed transitions, depending on the specific furnace wiring and board logic.

Can I use this relay to replace a 3PDT model?
No. The 56L68 is a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) relay. Always verify the pole configuration of the existing part before installation to ensure proper circuit isolation.
