I tried the suggestion from "lemetellu" (see below) and it worked however the fan will not cut off when compressor does. Any more suggestions...

Any help is appreciated.

Motor wiring:
Black wire: to "Line"
Yellow wire: to "Line"
Solid Brown Wire: to one side of Cap
Brown Wire with White stripe. Other side of Cap

Any help is appreciated.

The only thing I can tell you different is when you remove the old motor remove all of the wires from the old motor where ever they are connected. And then use the diagram above, connecting the two brown wires to the new capacitor and the black to the contactor, not on the line side but on the other side of the contactor (it may be marked T-1
The white wire will go on the other terminal of the contactor (may be marked T-2. Leave other wires where they were.

Ih have the same senerio but you say that wiring it as lemetellu said isn't correct. Hope we can find a solution to how to wire a new 4 wire motor up.

Black and yellow wire should go on the opposite end,, not the same end where the hot wires come in and connect to the contactor
