Lennox 65G60 Motor

The Lennox 65G60 is a high-performance 1/6 HP condenser fan motor engineered for precision performance in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Operating at a steady 825 RPM with a 208-230V single-phase power supply, this PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor is built for the demanding duty cycles of modern air-cooled condensing units. This unit is the direct OEM replacement for 65G6001 and the K55HXJRH-3601 model, ensuring a seamless fit without the need for mounting modifications. Featuring a NEMA 48 frame and a durable sleeve bearing design, it delivers consistent CCW rotation (lead end) to maintain optimal airflow across the condenser coils. For contractors looking for a Lennox 65G60 replacement, this motor provides the reliability needed to restore factory-spec cooling efficiency and protect the compressor from thermal stress.

Key Benefits for HVAC Professionals

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Engineered as a drop-in Lennox 65G6001 replacement to eliminate field-fit issues during emergency repairs.
• Industrial-Grade Construction: Features a moisture-resistant enclosure and thermally protected windings designed for outdoor environmental exposure.
• Optimized Energy Efficiency: The 825 RPM motor speed and 1.1 Amp draw are calibrated to maximize heat dissipation while maintaining low operational noise.
• Versatile Mounting: Designed for standard belly-band mounting applications typical in Lennox and Allied Air equipment.

Common Installation Questions

What capacitor is required for the Lennox 65G60?
This motor typically requires a 5 MFD / 370 VAC run capacitor for proper operation. Always verify the capacitor rating on the existing motor's nameplate before installation.

Can I use this to replace a higher RPM motor?
No. Using an 825 RPM motor to replace a 1075 RPM motor will result in insufficient airflow and potential system failure. Always match the condenser motor RPM and horsepower to the original equipment manufacturer's specifications.

Which direction does this motor rotate?
The 65G60 is a CCWLE (Counter-Clockwise Lead End) rotation motor. Verify your fan blade pitch to ensure proper airflow direction upon startup.
