I am replacing my fan motor now and there is an extra wire that I am
not sure what to do with. It is a replacement motor from AO Smith that
is replacing a motor in a Rheem 90+ imperial furnace--it has an extra
brown wire with white stripes. According to the diagram the white wire
goes to line 1 and the brown/white wire goes to the capacitor along
with the other brown wire. On the original motor the white wire went to
the capacitor, along with the brown wire. The motor has this message on
it " if a capacitor post is used to make common line 1 connection use
same post that brown lead with white stripe is connected to" Where do I
put the brown/white stripe wire?

Also, there are 4 other wires coming out of the motor--2 orange and 2
yellow. right now the orange is connected to the yellow and a yellow is
connected to an orange--this is for CWSE if I want CCWSE than orange to
orange and yellow to yellow. What does this mean--the direction of the
rotation?

Any help would be nice before the cold sets in tonight--thanks.

The two browns are capacitor wires, connect them to the capacitor. No other
wires go to the capacitor. The white is 120 volt common wire hook that to
the common spade on the control board. The other colors are the speed wires,
put one wire each on the appropriate terminal of the control board.

I have a protech UT control board and I am looking for the place to put
it--I have a set of neutral spades that it can go on according to the
schematics that came with the board (model 62-25341-81). would this be
the correct place to hook it into. thanks for the speedy reply

OHHHH...one of the EXPENSIVE boards...

Your best bet, since you are going to have two speeds needed, high for cool,
and low for heat, and there are two leads on the board for that, is not to
use the neutral leads on the board, but to simply tie the white lead to the
neutral in the J box...as you will have several off of it already more than
likely.

If you couldn't follow the pictorial on the motor (or the information on
the Fasco link that was posted here) you shouldn't be messing with it.
