    Wiring Rheem motor
    I just bought a new replacement motor and capacitor for my Rheem RPKA-043JAZ 3.5 ton outside unit. My question is about he wiring. My old motor had 3 wires - orange, brown and black. This motor has five wires. Do I need to hook up the other two wire - purple and yellow? The motor is an Emerson 51-23055-11
