My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

AC outdoor fan wiring Q.

3 years ago
last modified: 3 years ago

My ac unit outside had a fan that went bad. It has 3 wires- 1 to relay, other 2 to capacitor.

THe new fan motor I got has 4 wires- 2 to a seperate capacitor and other 2, 1 white, 1 black wires. Do these go to the 2 wires at the relay or to two pins on the capacitor?

Help would be GREATLY appreciated.

TIA...


Update: I found a doc that says the B and W wires go to the each wire at the relay. Thing is the store lady mentioned it hooks up to the original other condenser... i guess she was wrong?!?!?!
