Replacing a air conditioner motor (D7909 Model), how do I match the color wires?

Question

URGENT Help !!!

--------------------------------------...

I bought a new electrical motor for my air conditioner. It is a D7909 FASCO model, but the old motor had four color wires: red, yellow, brown & black while the new motor has four color wires: black, white, brown, and brown with a white stripe. I am not sure how to match them up. Can somebody help me?

Answer 1

It appears you're replacing the condenser fan motor on your unit. The black and white wires should go to T1 and T2 on the compressor contactor. The brown and brown/white wires should go to the capacitor, one on each side. I'm hoping you bought a new capacitor with this motor, and at the correct rating. Hope that helps.
