I am changing out the condenser fan motor on my Carrier Comfort series ac unit. I had a GE 1/4hp motor with three wires and I went to Grainger and got a universal replacement for it. However this motor has four wires of different color. So my original motor had Yellow (common) and Black (line) from the contactor, fine I think and one Brown line from the capacitor. The new motor (dayton) has a Black, Purple, Brown and Brown/White lines. I think I know where the Black and Purple wires go but since I only removed one wire from the capacitor, where do I put the two wires from the new motor? And which one goes where? The diagram on the motor does not specify. Thank you for your help in advance.

Did you get a new capasitor with the motor?

I will tomorrow. I going to go back to grainger and ask for a capacitor that goes with this new motor. My only concern is that the connection for the capacitor to the contactor portion.
