I have a GE controller "CB01 0VYS" for a Lennox HVAC system.

I cannot find this number for a parts search.

Can you share a cross reference number or possibly superceded number for my research?

Im trying to determine if this controller will work in place of a "ge ecm 2.3 cp03"

Thanks

If you have the equipment model number I can tell you what Lennox part number is listed for the blower motor.  There have been alot of revisions and the latest usually includes the motor and ECM module separate now.

Unfortunately those GE numbers won't cross reference to Lennox parts.  Likely the only way to find out is to replace it and see what happens.

Thank you.

I apologize if my question was a bit confusing.

A little background,  the blower motor in my Lennox HVAC quit. The motor setup us 2 part. One is the motor itself and one is the attached controller.

Each have different part numbers. I licated and obtained another motor of the same part number but its ajoining controller has a different controller number.

I realize i can just swap the controllers but i want to learn if the controllers are compatible so i can have extra parts.  Problem is I cannot find any info on the newly obtained controller.

These are GE components.

Were you refering to the part number for the complete Lennox system? Or for the motor?

Sounds like it's an ECM. If the replacement one has different part numbers it may not work properly. The actual controller has to be programmed to work with that particular furnace. The speeds may not be correct, or it may not work at all. Have you tried opening your old controller to see if an obvious metal oxide varistor has blown in the circuitry? If so, you can take it to an electronics repair shop and have them replace that part to save money.

Thank you Porcupinepuffer,

My original blower motor, 5SME39SL0121 had a stator magnet come unglued (which I have since repaitred). When the motor failed, I sourced another motor of the same part number, but it had that different controller number.

The two controllers are different inside and out but have the same external connection plugs.

The controllers dont seem to have a programmable component as they just seem to consist of large capacitors and rectifiers.

I would share images here but I dont seem to have the option at this time.
