Lennox 72L06 Motor
The Lennox 72L06 is a professional-grade 1/4 HP condenser fan motor engineered for high-demand HVACR applications. Operating at 208-230V and a steady 1075 RPM, this single-phase motor provides the consistent torque required to maintain optimal airflow across condenser coils. As a direct OEM Lennox replacement motor, it ensures precise mechanical compatibility with a wide range of Lennox, Armstrong, and Ducane units, effectively restoring system efficiency and thermal exchange performance. Built with a 48Y frame and featuring a 2-inch shaft length, this motor is designed for durability in grueling outdoor environments. For a complete repair, technicians should verify the condition of the fan blade and replace the run capacitor to prevent premature winding failure and ensure the motor operates within specified amperage limits.
Key Benefits- OEM Precision: Direct replacement for part numbers 72L06, 52M01, and 20390807, ensuring a perfect fit without bracket modifications.
- Optimized Cooling: Delivers 1075 RPM to maintain the factory-specified CFM required for efficient heat rejection.
- Robust Construction: Features a permanent split capacitor (PSC) design for reliable starting and energy-efficient operation under load.
- Broad Compatibility: Fits various Lennox AC and heat pump models, including the AC10B and AFGP series.
What is the rotation direction for the 72L06?
This motor is typically rated for clockwise (CW) rotation from the lead end, though you should always confirm the rotation against the existing fan blade pitch.
Do I need to replace the capacitor with this motor?
Yes, veteran techs recommend installing a new capacitor to match the motor's specifications; using an old or out-of-tolerance capacitor can cause overheating and shorten the motor's lifespan.
What frame size is this motor?
The 72L06 utilizes a 48 frame (5-5/8 inch diameter) which is the industry standard for most residential and light commercial condenser units.
