    No, but the compress may still be out on overload, does it hum or do anything?

    That's not good, I would say your compressor will be fine if you get a new motor

    Well I replaced the motor but still does not work. They gave me a new compacitor but its doesn't look the same. My old one had 3 prongs and this one only has two will that work?

    Ok I replaced the capacitor and now the fan works but I'm not sure that I have everything wired up correct.

    From the new motor

    Black, White, and brown
    Spliced into
    Black, red, yellow w/brown stripe

    I now have two capacitors
    35/5 440volt Red wire on the "C"
    5mfd.370 volt w/ yellow w/black strip and Orange on it.

    Is this correct because it doesn't sound like the compressor is working?

    I`m hoping yo didn`t try to replace the original capicitor with the one they sold you with the motor,, the new one should have been only for the new motor and the original left in place for the compressor to operate off,,
    Maybe I`m understading wrong

    You should have 2 wires on the new compasitor and 3 on the old.
