Hi,
I'm replacing the blower motor on my old Carrier furnace (probably 30 years old) model 58GS075.
When I removed the old blower motor (AO Smith 321P591 - 1/3 HP, 115v, 1050 RPM, 4 speed) there is no capacitor connected to this motor. The only wires that were connected were a White, Black and Red from the furnace.
Motor has a blue and yellow also that were not connected, presumably for the other speeds.
In shopping for a replacement, I'm coming across blower motors that require a capacitor.
Is there a direct replacement for this motor without a capacitor?
I can buy a universal but how would I wire the capacitor? I read that brown/brown and white go to capacitor but is that the only 2 wires that need to be connected to the capacitor?
Thanks,
Andy
