Lamb Ametek 116213 Central ...
$129.99
Product details
A central vacuum that keeps tripping its breaker or cuts suction mid-clean is often telling you the motor is on its way out, and the 116213 is Lamb Ametek's 220-240 volt replacement for power units built around it, sold here as part 206A.
Lamb rates it at 304 air watts and 99.1 CFM with 97.4 inches of sealed suction, drawn through two fan stages in a 5.7 inch housing on a modest 4.7 amps. Beam, Nutone, AirVac, AstroVac, CanaVac and DuoVac power units are among those it was fitted to.
Labels reading 6213 or 11-6213 mark the same part. Confirm your power unit runs on 220-240 volts before ordering, since Lamb also built a 110-120 volt line that is not interchangeable despite similar model numbers.

Beyond breaker trips and intermittent shutdowns, watch for an electrical smell after a run, sparking visible near the top of the motor, or suction that noticeably weakens across every inlet rather than just one. Any of those points to the motor rather than the hose, bag, or filter.
