The Lennox 68J42 is a genuine OEM Potential Relay used in Lennox air conditioning and heat pump systems to assist with compressor startup by engaging the start capacitor and then dropping it out of the circuit once the compressor reaches proper running speed. A failed potential relay can cause hard starting, compressor humming, tripped breakers, or complete compressor failure — all signs that this component needs immediate replacement. Installing this authentic Lennox OEM relay protects your compressor investment and restores dependable system performance.
