I googled and watched 30 different videos none that helped until this one! Thank you for your content and easy explanation! I missed where you connect and tie the two unused wires together but once I saw the comment on that, it works great. Thank you very much for this!!!
Be sure you wire TOGETHER the brown and yellow. I had taped them off but didn't wire them together. The motor will not run unless they are wired together. My mistake, missed that little comment. Otherwise great video for wiring this replacement condenser fan motor.
Have had the motor since end of last summer. I spent time spraying W-40 in the old motor to keep it from squealing to get past the hot months. This summer that motor failed and its 97 degrees outside. I was not comfortable with the one page wiring diagram to tackle this project and was about to call someone qualified. This video was awesome. Thanks for making it very easy to understand and complete myself. AC is blowing cold again and NO SQUEALING!!
Thank you for the video I didn't know how to reverse the fan motor till I saw this video. It really helped a lot. The more videos you have on how to do things the more we can buy to do it ourselves. Thanks again.
Thank you so very much! After I popped the breaker the first time, I decided to see if I could find you guys on CZcams and , BAMM! This video helped me so much and saved me A LOT of money! Can't even begin to thank you enough! Jerry, from Palm Desert CA, where it's 113 today 7/06/2020!
Good stuff man. I was replaced the ac fan motor for a ruud 3 ton and I noticed a I had 4 wires on the new motor. It over heated within 5 min and Shutt off. Lol the wiring was completely different. I followed your instructions and waaalaaa. Thank you
Thank a lot for this video. I had a little bit of a problem reading the diagram and wired the fan wrong at first and was stumped. The fan kept running hot then turning off. After seeing the video I got things squared and I am all set. Much appreciated.
Like another commenter said, I watched a large number of videos but just wasn’t sure until this video because I have the exact motor, would be nice if the factory left the angle spade connectors off the brown and yellow wire with just maybe a stripped back end showing the copper wires to give a hint of needing to tie them together instead of thinking they need to hook to a male blade somewhere, thanks for this great video, no doubts now and if rotation is wrong no problem swapping the purple and brown to get other direction. One question is, if a motor is a clock wise rotate, is that with fan shaft facing you or facing away from you ?
My current set up is using the brown wire ,would recommend using that first instead or the purple wire on a 3 wire hookup,also will a 35/3 440 capacitor work with theses motors?
My current motor went out and it uses Yellow, Black, and Brown wires. The brown goes to a dual capacitor. Apparently 51-23055-11 is a replacement for my old PN 8101-555 motor. How would I hook this up? Would I need a new capacitor? The dual capacitor I have no doesn't any information on it the label turned white.
I know this video is old but, can you tell me where I can get a ohm test procedure (and specs) for this particular motor 51-23055-11 and maybe a electrical schematic of how the motor is wired internally?
My new 51-23055-11 from North America HVAC is working fine, but running with its surface temp at 185-190 Fahrenheit during a 85 degree day. Capacitor is new and checks at 3 mfd for 220V. Is it normal? I know it is class B so can handle much more on its winding, but I'm concern about the service life. Thanks
Yes, the brown and purple, or brown and yellow, depending on your rotation get spliced together. They cannot just be cut and capped individually. Good luck!
Not a word about those drain plugs---remove them? leave in place? And what's the hard plastic disc for that comes on the shaft of the motor--is it for shipping purposes or do we leave it on the shaft? In this "helper" video, why are these things TOP SECRET??
Any rubber plugs need to be removed from the lower end and inserted on the upper end, depending on how the motor is mounted on your unit, to allow for any moisture drainage via the bottom holes.

A 9 year old video that was immensely helpful in wiring my fan. Thank you.
Be sure you wire TOGETHER the brown and yellow. I had taped them off but didn't wire them together. The motor will not run unless they are wired together. My mistake, missed that little comment. Otherwise great video for wiring this replacement condenser fan motor.
Thanks for the clarification. Much obliged.

Thank you. This video was perfect and got me over the hump of what do I do with these two wires? Much appreciated.

Thanks again.
+Franco Contreras Thank you!
This video was exactly what I needed. Thank you.
Thanks for this video. I got stumped on those 2 extra wires and this made it simple. AC working again and money saved! Whoot!
Perfect wiring instructions. Thank you

Thank you this video saved me $140
Thank you X 100! This video was clear and easy to follow! The directions that were included with the motor were not very clear.

Great "How-to" video.
Great Video, Thank you very much for the information.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you- you made my day.
Perfect video👌👍

Have found a black ( lose ) wire attached to a small aluminum block.-Panduit- Can you please let me know what if anything it should be connected to

Do the yellow & brown wires get spliced together on the 3 wire setup or just capped off ?
Yes, the brown and purple, or brown and yellow, depending on your rotation get spliced together. They cannot just be cut and capped individually. Good luck!
And the blu the comprecion where I put ?
Great video, but you speak so fast and mumbled when you said tie the two unused wires together so I missed it until I read the comment section.

Same question here

@@Jeph629 I saw on another video, those plugs need to be removed for condensation purpose.

What about herm
The "Herm" connector on the dual capacitor is for the compressor wire to connected to. It has nothing to do with the motor wiring.
On 3 wire dees any wire goes to herm
Did you find the answer to this?
The "Herm" connector on the dual capacitor is for the compressor wire to connected to. It has nothing to do with the motor wiring.
If you buy the 5 wire motor use the 4 wire method with the orange and purple to the contact brown and yellow to the comp. CPFORTNITEYTX
Totally miss leading
