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.

Here is a link to a video description of how I have mine wired and set up. I figured I can take a few minutes out of my day to help you out with this. Hope it helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFQOC2s84Wk

I believe so. I purchased it a few years ago & had somebody else put the guts into the old box (it came with a new box, but the old one was in the drywall ceiling, so I did not remove the old box). The new motor and wires work wonderfully. No problems so far.

it has 2 wires. black wire (hot wire) from the plug to the black wire of the unit(use a wire nut). then the white wire to one end of the motor wire (wire nut) then other end of motor to the white wire of the plug (neutral) (wire nut) make sure the motor is or has been able to be speed controlled (they will have brushes in them typically called universal motors) with this kind of controller. this will not work on ac only type motors (reluctance,shade pole, inductor or synchronous motors)

Pimple is right , this one also has a option to change the direction.One thing to note is to make sure you have a dual run capacitor , if not you need to buy another one , I know one or more reviews says you need an extra one but if you have a dual run cap already it's possible to wire it to it , you just have to terminate one of the wires.

I did receive the capacitor with my motor but didn't use it. I checked the box that I kept my old motor in (keeping it for a temp backup) and I found the cap in a sealed box within.

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.

Yes, when the motor shows the requirement of 5 MFD it will be correct... yes on the wires... brown and brown/white will be hooked up (one wire per side), however there are other ways to wire when required to do so... please call for explanation... 989-723-8985 M-F 8-5 Eastern Dan CSH

My old motor was hard wired but the new comes with a wire that plugs into the motor with a connector on the end so it doesn't matter if it plugs into the motor or a wire that comes off the motor, either way it will work. As for the top plate I'm not sure, I had all the old parts so what didn't come with the new motor I already had. I do hope this helps you out.Randy

A new tail motor will come with about 5" of wire, so you'd have to cut the old wire, replace the tail motor, and solder the new wires onto the old.

As previously stated, as long as the mounting points match, you should be good to go. I had to widen one of the mounting holes as this motor was slightly off, but that was it. When I bought mine, I also got a new start capacitor which I highly recommend. This one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004019SWG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) worked perfectly.The wires controlling the rotational direction of the fan use quick connects so they are easy to swap if you need to change direction. I connected mine on the outside of the fan guard so I didn't have to disassemble my A/C unit to switch the direction.

Yes just two wires if that is all your original capacitor had. I have install two on each of my motorhome ac units. They give the old units a real solid start.

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.

If it is a very thin wire, then that is not normal. There should be solder pads on the board where the other motor control wires are connected. If it is a single wire coming from the board, that is the antenna and is suppose to be loose. Source: ive re-built this thing 8 times.

This is the brushed motor, it's been listed wrong. Look at the number of wires on the motor to determine if it's brushed or not. 3 wires= brushless 2 wires = brushed

The capacitor is a non-polarized electrolytic and therefore it doesn't matter which side the leads go to. Just keep the same wires together as they were on the one that was replaced.

The original kit used a electronic sensor strip that wrapped around the motor to monitor and control speeds. The new kit eliminates this sensor.the light switch works,but not as good in my mind. What's wrong with your old installation? If the fan quit due to static if surges, you can remove the fan shroud without taking the fan down.lremove the main circuit board and inspect....should find 1 resister burnt. If not sure, use an ohm meter and look for the open resister..it's in a bank of about 3 resistors.. I repaired mine 4 times over the years and it was always the same resistor. Cost of repair, 1 hour total labor, 50 cents for the resistor at radio shack. I certainly like the old control vs the new one. Had I known what I do now,I would have repaired it again. Thought the new design would be better, boy was I wrong..good luck, it's very easy.look in you tube and there are videos showing the whole repair procedure. Merry Xmas to all.

I don't understand why your motor did not come with the capacitor. Mine did. I did not use it as the existing capacitor was fine. You can try using the existing motor capacitor. Just ensure you connect the replacement motor exactly as the old motor.
