    RUUD Heat Pump
    I have a Rheem heat pump and have purchased a replacement condenser fan motor. It had an Emerson KA55HXPAM-7255 and was crossed over to an A O Smith ORM 1008. My problem is the wiring, the new motor has one more wire than the old one. I had orange, brown, black on the old one. The new one has Brown, Brown w/ white stripe, black, and yellow. According to cross references this motor is a replacement, but I'm not sure what to do with the extra wire.
    There is also a slight hp and amperage difference. HP went from 1/10 to new one with 1/6 and the amp went from .75 to 1.1. Will this be a problem?

    Brown, Brown w/ white stripe

    These wires go to the NEW capacitor you bought for the new motor. Do not use the old capacitor.

    Black and yellow to each side of the contactor 240 volt connections.

    NO


    The wiring is right on the side of the new motor. Just follow the diagram.
