The genuine OEM Lennox 97H14 is a three-pole contactor with a 24-volt control coil rated at 60 amps per pole. This heavy-duty switching relay energizes all three legs of power to the compressor and condenser fan in three-phase Lennox systems, making and breaking the high-voltage circuit on command from the low-voltage control board.

Failing contactors show clear warning signs — a persistent buzzing or humming coil, contacts that stick closed and keep the compressor running non-stop, pitted or burnt terminals, or an outdoor unit that simply won't start when cooling is called for. Because it switches all three phases, a single failed pole on the 97H14 can cause single-phasing that damages the compressor motor.

OEM specification is critical here: the 60-amp rating, 24V pull-in voltage, and three-pole configuration are engineered to match your Lennox equipment's electrical load. Installing an under-rated or mismatched contactor risks compressor damage and nuisance trips. This factory part delivers exact fit and full rated switching life for your Lennox system.
