I purchased this capacitor and it looks great. The old switch was taken out before the correct configuration was noted. How's it wired to the switch?

I'm not sure how much help I can be. Since the replacement capacitor did not include a plug, I just cut off the old cap below the plug and used wire nuts to attach the new cap to the old cap pigtails. That way I simply followed the color-coded wires.

Henry, The fan motor capacitors are for the 3 speeds of the motor. One gray wire will go into positon L of the 3 way pull switch. Usually you can use a very small flat blade screwdriver to push the spring clip back thru a slot to release the old wire and should be able to push in the new wire. The other color wires will go in order into the 1,2,3 slots in the order they are are the capacitor body, usually red, brown, purple. The other gray wire will go into the plug connector in the gray slot. center opposite white slot. Generally easier to clip existing gray wire from slot, leave some length, strip and twist connect with a wire nut. Biggest problem is the plastic body 3 way switches break easy so be careful. They are common stock at big box hardware stores though. The capacitors, which fail often, are not though, strange. Fortunately the price on them has dropped dramatically online. 6-7 years ago I was paying $25-35 for them and now can find for $10 or less.Probably find wiring diagrams online for Hunter, Harbor Breeze, AllenRoth fans. Good Luck.

Match up the color of the wires. In my case two of them were reversed from the old capacitor, but if you simply match the colors it should work fine.

Hi Henry, were the wires on the old capacitor color coded, if so look at the diagram on both capacitor and the wires to determine, if they follow the same circuit, if they both follow the same circuit then you can go ahead and connect the wires. If you are not sure, please consult an electrician.

You would connect it to the Black (Line), White (Neutral) and Bare or Green (Ground)... And then cap off the Red wire with a wire nut. It would no longer be switchable, but you probably don't want that function anyway.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you. I wired mine just as it was wired when I got my new one. Sorry

We just replaced an existing switch, so all wiring was in place. If that's what you're doing, the only other things you will need are wire cutters and a screwdriver.

If you bought this from us (electric motor warehouse) we should have sent you a capacitor with the motor. The two brown wires for to the new capacitor. The black & white wires go to the power leads. You would hook up the black wire to where the old black wire went. The white wire on the new motor would go to the "C" terminal on the old 3-prong capacitor (probably where the yellow wire went from old motor) this is the other power source.

We'll I had the same thing and mind was bad capacitors!! Easy repair with the right cap kit.the hardest part is the soldering! Go on you tube you will find out how to do it,it will show you how to do it.get the right kit from Amazon they have what you need. Inexpense too. The best to check on YouTube!

I just plugged mine into existing socket and it works fine and looks great. no problems.

Whenever replacing any capacitor the uf rating must be the same. The wire color do not matter. The diagram is printed on the front of the capacitor (new and old both). Match the uf values to the wire color of the new capacitor to the old one.

From what I remember you should be fine with this motor. I did replace capacitor at same time. Remember to give capacitor some time to charge up after turning power back on. About an hour is plenty. Very happy with motor.

i don't know. my son in law was told that the capacitor in my ac was going bad and it needed to be replaced. it would have cost a fortune to have the repairs done by the a/c company so he looked up the part on amazon and figured out it would work. it's shaped a bit different that the original but, he installed it and my a/c works fine. i don't know how he figured out that it would work even though slightly different. i hope you are able to figure it out.

Been a while, but remember having trouble with installing that switch. Did a web search for a wiring diagram for a similar switch (I don't think it was a Woodstock switch). Wiring was corrected including ground and it preformed as advertised.

You should have a black and a red. That go's positive and negative. The other wire (yellow or red) should go to your switch.

Sorry you are out of luck. This particular switch requires 3 wires and a ground - you should return it. Some other switches only require 2 wires. Your two wires are both "hot", usually black wires, the line and load they are called. This switch also requires white/neutral and should also be grounded - green.

No. The picture looks like a similar generic switch I picked up from walmart. I installed it and it didn't work. Checking the electricals I found out why&gt; Generic switch rotation is Off, L -1, L-2, L-3. The LS-102 rotation is Off, L-3+2+1, L-3+2, L-3+1. The reason is that 1 & 2 connect to a dual-tap capacitor, with line 2 being a higher uF rating than one. So all three lines are high, two lines with high uF is medium, and two lines with low uF is low. You will need to get OEM switch to work correctly.

It's the same just conect the two wires. ono on the left and the other one on the right. mine was the same way and it works perfect.

Don't know for sure. Try googling youtube or other sources. Ours works great after replacing bad capacitors.

I never used the switch. Mine works okay. You must have received a defective unit. Return or exchange it ASAP
