VACUFLO 760 Replacement Motor – Ametek Lamb 122159-07

Restore the powerful cleaning performance of your VACUFLO 760 central vacuum system with the Ametek Lamb 122159-07 replacement motor.

The VACUFLO 760 is designed with two central vacuum motors, and the Ametek Lamb 122159-07 is the upgraded replacement motor used for this application. Customers replacing both motors in a VACUFLO 760 must purchase two motors.

The 122159-07 is a powerful 120-volt, 2-stage, 5.7-inch tangential bypass motor rated at approximately 116 CFM, 112 inches of waterlift, and 443 Air Watts. (qualityhomesystems.com)

Upgraded Motor for VACUFLO 760

The 122159-07 is an upgraded Ametek Lamb motor designed to replace older motors used in VACUFLO 260, 460, and 760 systems. The updated motor incorporates a redesigned fan intended to reduce the possibility of dirt and debris becoming trapped in the fan. (customvacs.com)

Because the 122159-07 is an upgraded motor, the specified upgrade requires appropriate 17-amp circuit protection. Customers should not simply reuse an older lower-rated circuit protector unless it is specifically approved for the replacement motor.

Two Motors Required for VACUFLO 760

Unlike the VACUFLO 260 and 460, which use a single motor, the VACUFLO 760 uses two motors. (customvacs.com)

When replacing the complete motor assembly in a VACUFLO 760:

Quantity required: 2 × Ametek Lamb 122159-07

If only one motor has failed, the system may be repairable with a single replacement motor, but customers should consider the age and condition of the second motor before deciding whether to replace one or both.

VACUFLO 760 Motor Replacement

If your VACUFLO 760 has reduced suction, unusual motor noise, overheating, or a motor that will not start, the motor may need replacement.

Before replacing the motor, check the central vacuum system for:

• Blocked hose
• Clogged inlet
• Obstructed piping
• Air leaks
• Electrical problems
• Worn carbon brushes
• Damaged motor gasket

If the problem is isolated to one motor, replacing that motor may restore system operation. However, because the VACUFLO 760 uses two motors, replacing both at the same time can help maintain balanced performance when both motors are the same age.
