Hello, I have a Rheem electric air handler Model#UBHA-14J10SFCA.
I have replaced the blower motor,capacitor, and the blower relay in the unit.And have double checked all wiring.The relay works I can hear it clicking while switching at the "stat" .The motor (model 51-23101-05) is wired a follows:
Orange- to one side of capacitor
Brown- Other side of capacitor
Black- to relay terminal
Red- not used
But the motor still doesn't work. Thanks for any help.

Better check your wiring. The colors are usually the speeds. RED=low ORANGE=medium BLACK=High then there is either 2 or 1 brown wire. If 2, then just push one brown on one side of CAP and one brown on the other side. If only one brown then push it on one side of cap, all by itself. The other side will need 2 wires. (This is where your problems sounds with limited knowledge) I dont seem to see in your discription, a common wire from the motor. Is usually white, once in while its purple, and even more seldom some other goofy color. It will show it on the motor itself how to wire it and where the cap goes, just take a closer look or respond with more details.
