    Wiring new fan condenser motor
    Hello

    How are you? I purchased a new fan motor and it has different wire colors than the old one.
    The old one has a black, brown and yellow wire and the new one has Brown, brown/white,
    White and black. How are these wired together. This is an outside A/C fan motor 1/4HP, 208-230 volts, 825RPM.

    The two browns go to the capacitor and the other two go to the power leads.

    Blank your old brown and use the two left for the yel & blk.
