I was given a replacement remote/reciever at Lowe's. Some kid told me it would work. I ohmed out the motor which has two windings (pink to yellow and red to grey). I paralelled the two windings with the new receiver output and neutral. The fan doesn't run as fast as it did before. The winding ohmed 30 and 51 ohms. I didn't see any winding damage when I disassembled it. My question, is it OK to run it like this?

Do you have an ampmeter?

I gave you a longer answer in your other thread. Posting in two places is discouraged.

Wait, I just reread your question. NO the two windings should NOT be wired in parallel. One should have a capacitor in series.

So the old receiver had a built in capacitor. Can I make this work? Sorry but this site did not give me an option to update upon your answer.

Do you know how it was originally wired?

So what type of capacitor would you use & with the 4 wires how would you wire it?
