Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Great Video, straight to the point and perfect for somebody that is capable of replacing these parts but doesn't work with them. Answered my questions and gave me all the info I needed in a great way. I watched other videos first and was about to resign to doing other research to get what I needed, but you covered it! Thanks again!
You snatched the wires off the capacitor and did say where you disconnected them from, herm, fan, common, the wire colors may be different. Mine was but I had on problems hooking this motor up. Thanks
I would like to see videos on working on older model AC units. It's great with new units or shop mockups. In real life the units are in not so comfortable surroundings. Nuts and bolts are rusted. Another thing is how about listing the fan blade height on the motor shaft?
I'm curious. Wiring the new motor with the 2 brown wires for the capacitor. Would it be possible to connect the 2 brown wires to the old dual run capacitor instead of using the new single run capacitor. If is is possible would you connect the 2 browns to the Common and the Fan on the old dual run capacitor?
There is no reason to wire in an extra cap instead of useing a dual run. You only need 3 wires to hook up a condencer fan motor. The white (or yellow) common wire and the brown/white are connected inside the motor. So you dont need one of them. Check the continuity to see what im talking about. An example of wiring would be black to L1, white to L2 (or to common on the cap) and then brown to fan on cap. All other wires are nutted off and zip tied up in place. And of course when you replace your dual run match what your motor calls for. I see allot of guys doing this. Hell i use to do it till i started reading into motors more. I been a hvac tec for a short time and my boss who has been a tec for 30 years thought i was full of it untill i showed him.
If it's a capacitor then I'd play it safe and discharge it by placing a metal object such as a screw driver across the metal surface contacts and make sure you are wearing safety gloves. Better safe than sorry...
on my old motor I had purple two brown and one black and white no yellow now on the new motor I have two brown, white and black and yellow was a smaller wire so that was used for ground . Why is yours different?
Really? " The Yellow wire went right here by the other yellow wire and the black wire went to the defrost board on this terminal here"? Where on the capacitor does the yellow wire go? Anywhere? Just plug it on to any of the 3 different settings? How about that black wire? Just plug it onto any terminal on the decfost board? Are you trying to get someone hurt? Why else would anyone post a tutorial involving electricity and just half ass tell you where to plug things in? That's a terrible tutorial and i hope you train your employees better then that.

Thanks, best one I've watched so far. Let's do this! You're a good instructor.

Thank you for this video. You were so helpful.
Excellent video it answer all my questions.
love it you guy's are great I love to watch your video's!!! iv'e learned so much thank you.

Good tips.
Put the green wire under one of the four top mount screws. It to protect from static charge from the fan turning
Great video, do you know if you can oil a condenser motor through the drain plugs? Thanks again keep up the good work

saludos brother porke no haces un video del sistema electrico de ese aire gracias o la instalacion electrical
Most new fan motors require a separate capacitor of their own. Those two brown wires would go to a 5 or 7.5 cap. Never wire them to the dual capacitor
I hear mixed things, do you need to discharge the capacitor?
Does anyone know why after installing motor and is working fine but it doesn’t stop once is cool inside the house.it should go on and off.
Where do you buy the motor THANKS
Where does the green wire go?
If you don't take a picture, how do you determine which wire goes where? Also, do all condensing fan motors have the same color wires?
so theres no need to discharge the capacitor?

I thought the yellow goes to ground ??

Just make sure to discharge capacitor or you will get the SHOCK of your life.
Sorry, didn't say
