    AC Condenser Fan runs counterclockwise one time and clockwise the next.
    I am planning to take my AC Condenser Fan back to Grainger because it start
    Rotating on direction one time it starts and it may start the other direction
    The next time. The motor is a 1/3 hp Dayton. I have tried the connector in both
    Clockwise and counterclockwise positions. I am assuming the motor is bad.

    Is it possible that I wired something incorrectly to cause this?

    Thank you,

    My wiring through the capacitor was wrong. Dayton changed their wiring, and I had
    Wired it the way the previous motor was wired. Thank you Grainger Tech. Support.
