I have a salvage pump motor from a Miele dishwasher. The thing was operating fine when it came out so I'm sure it works.
There are four wires:
1.) ground (white & Green)
2.) Black
3.) Tan
4.) White
The motor, when in situ, had a 14 Micro farad Capacitor which I have retained.
Interestingly the motor states on the ID panel that it wants 14 Microfarads along with a 120 VAC designation.

The three power wires are shunted to two connector blocks (each block has two green wire leads) with the Black shared between them as a common

Should that Black common be hot, neutral, or the Capacitor or what? I can't figure how to wire this motor.
