I am replacing a GE arconditionaing condenser fan motor with an AO Smith 5-5/8" diameter totally enclosed outdoor sleeve bearing fan motor Stock Number FSE1026S. The specs on the fans are simillar and the AO Smith motor is a universal replacement for my unit; however the old GE fan motor had four lead wires coming from the motor (one to the relay switch, two to the capacitor, and one ground). The AO Smith replacement motor has five lead wires and I am not sure if I have wired it correctly; does anyone have information on wiring these motors?

The AO Smith motor has one yellow, one black, one brown, one brown w/white stripe, one ground. The rep a Grainger where I purchased the motor suggested I connect the two brown wires (one w/white strip) to the capacitor. Leaving the yellow and black lead wires to connect to the relay and perhaps the capacitor too? Ground wire is obvious.

Any help would be appreciated. I could not find wiring diagrams for the AO Smith motor on their web-site; A.O.Smith Electrical Products Company (http://www.aosmithmotors.com) or the data sheet for the motor at http://www.aosmithmotors.com/pdf/catalogs/150/PAGE60.pdf

Thanks.

Sounds good to me.

But not to this part.

and perhaps the capacitor too? Do not connect any other wires to capacitor except the two brown ones as previously stated.
BTW there is a wiring diagram on the side of the motor.

the new condenser fan motor for my air conditioner has a purple,brown, green and black wires ,, the york condenser had red,black, brown and green ,
is the purple the same as red?
