Lennox 98M76 Motor

When replacing a failed blower in high-efficiency Lennox furnace and air handler units, the Lennox 98M76 Blower Motor (OEM part 100202-01) is the required specification for restoring factory-standard performance. This 1/2 HP PSC motor operates on a 208-230V single-phase power supply at 60Hz. Engineered for precise airflow management, it features a three-speed configuration and a nominal 1075 RPM rating. This NEMA 48 frame motor utilizes a 1/2 inch x 3 inch shaft and is designed for horizontal mounting using a standard belly band. It draws approximately 2.2 Amps and requires a 10 MFD 370 VAC capacitor for efficient startup and operation. As a genuine Lennox OEM replacement motor, it ensures exact drop-in compatibility with the original mounting hardware and harness, preventing the common alignment issues found with generic aftermarket HVAC blower motors. This CCWLE rotation motor is built with sleeve bearings and a steel housing for reliable service in demanding residential split systems.

Common Questions:

What is the correct rotation for the 98M76 motor?
This motor is CCWLE (Counter-Clockwise Lead End) rotation. Always verify the rotation of your existing blower wheel before installation to ensure proper airflow direction.

Does this motor include the run capacitor?
The Lennox 98M76 requires a 10 MFD 370 VAC capacitor. It is standard industry practice to replace the capacitor whenever a new 1/2 HP 1075 RPM motor is installed to prevent premature failure.

Can I use this motor on a 115V circuit?
No, this is a 208-230V specific motor. Connecting this unit to a 115V power source will result in a failure to start and potential damage to the internal windings.
