I have an 2000 3 ton Rudd that has a bad condenser fan motor (GE) 3 wire Brown,Orange and Black. Black to line,Brown to cap, and Orange to cap, my capacitor has 3 terminals,6 connections with a small orange going to Line and small purple going to compressor. Now my new motor(Protech) has 5 wires Orange,Purple,Brown,Yellow and Black. The wiring diagram is not so clear 4 or 3 wire hook-up, Clockwise or Counterclockwise. Now I know it is CCW and that it was a 3 wire motor,so I guess my question is What goes where? Diagram shows Orange and purple to the cap,brown and yellow together but not hooked to anything and Black to Line. Is this right? I know rotation is changed by switching the brown and purple wires. Any help would be greatly appreiciated! Thermost reads 87 and is rising!
