Lennox 72H36 Motor

This Lennox 72H36 is a professional-grade condenser fan motor designed for high-performance heat dissipation in residential and light commercial outdoor units. Operating at 1/4 HP and 208-230V, this PSC motor runs at a fixed 825 RPM to maintain critical airflow across the condenser coils without the noise or turbulence of higher-speed alternatives. As a direct replacement for 72H3601, 27H32, and 27H3201, it ensures a seamless drop-in fit for NEMA 48 frame applications.

The Lennox 72H36 motor features a durable ball bearing system and a 1/2" diameter by 5" long shaft, optimized for vertical mounting. For technicians servicing Lennox HP24, HP26, and HP23 series heat pumps, this 1.72A motor provides the torque stability required for peak summer loads. To ensure proper startup and prevent winding failure, always pair this OEM replacement motor with a fresh 10 MFD 370 VAC capacitor during installation. Reliable heat rejection is non-negotiable for protecting the compressor, making this specific 825 RPM HVAC motor the standard choice for maintaining system design specifications.

• Perfect Compatibility: Fully interchangeable with part number 72H3601 for easy field replacement.
• Technical Precision: Maintains 825 RPM to provide the exact CFM required for Lennox condenser coil heat rejection.
• Industrial Build: Features ball bearings and a rolled steel frame for long-term reliability in demanding outdoor environments.
• Optimized Efficiency: Single-phase, 1.72A draw helps retain the original system SEER ratings.

What capacitor is required for the Lennox 72H36?
This motor requires a 10 MFD 370 VAC run capacitor for proper operation. Using an undersized or worn capacitor can lead to motor overheating and premature failure.

Can I use a 1075 RPM motor to replace this 825 RPM model?
No. Swapping an 825 RPM motor for a higher-speed 1075 RPM motor will change the static pressure and increase the amp draw, which can damage the fan blades and reduce cooling efficiency.

Is this motor reversible?
The Lennox 72H36 is factory-set for CCWLE (Counter-Clockwise Lead End) rotation. Always verify the rotation of the existing fan blade before installation to ensure the air is pulling through the coil correctly.
