Lennox 97W61 Motor
The Lennox 97W61 motor is a heavy-duty, 1 HP replacement ECM motor designed for high-performance air handlers and furnaces. As a 208-230V variable speed blower motor, this OEM Lennox part (model 46132-067) provides precise airflow control, reaching speeds between 600 and 1200 RPM at a 5.8 Amp rating. Unlike standard PSC motors, this electronically commutated motor utilizes an integrated microprocessor to maintain constant torque, ensuring consistent static pressure management across varying ductwork conditions. For a tech in the field, this means better dehumidification in cooling mode and more uniform heat distribution. This 1 HP HVAC motor is engineered for a single-phase power supply and features a NEMA 48 frame size, providing a drop-in solution for mid-to-large scale residential and light commercial Lennox units. Its brushless DC design reduces operational noise and vertical vibration, extending the life of the blower wheel and housing components.
Key Benefits- Energy Efficiency: The high-efficiency ECM technology significantly reduces watt consumption compared to induction motors, optimizing SEER2 ratings.
- Advanced Airflow Control: Operates as a variable speed motor to provide soft-start ramps and quiet shut-downs, eliminating the "bang" of traditional blowers.
- Direct Compatibility: Built as a genuine Lennox 97W61 component to ensure seamless communication with Lennox proprietary controls.
- Durable Construction: Features ball bearings and a drip-proof enclosure for reliable operation in high-moisture evaporator environments.
Is the Lennox 97W61 a direct replacement for PSC motors?
While it replaces specific PSC counterparts in Lennox systems, it requires the correct wiring harness and control board support for variable speed signaling. Always verify the 16-pin or 4-pin connector type before installation.
Why is my blower motor not starting despite having 230V power?
ECM motors like the 97W61 require both high-voltage power and a low-voltage communication signal (typically PWM or 0-10V) to engage. Check the motor control module for burnt thermal limiters or lost communication with the main board.
Can I replace just the module or do I need the entire motor?
If the windings show proper resistance but the motor won't turn, the module may be the culprit; however, the 97W61 is often supplied as a complete assembly to ensure factory-calibrated performance.
