"contactor wiring HELP!!" , posted Mon 21 Jul 17:47

i am replacing my honeywell contactor, when i took it to the parts store, they gave me a fasco h130a to replace it. i took pics of how my oldd one was wired before i took it out (because i knew this would happen) when i got the new one home, it isnt the exact same as the one i took out. so my questions are:

1. is there a right and left side to this? my honeywell was marked t3, t1 L3 L1, etc. the new one has no marking to determine one side from the other.

2. as you can see from my old contactor, there is a faded orange wire coing off the capacitor. where does this go on the new contactor? the contacts on the top and bottom in the middle go to the coil, so where would the orange wire go on the new one? ive looked everywhere for an answer. you guys are my only shot at getting AC tonight, and i have a newborn baby in the house.

help!!

Answer to question #1:
It doesn't matter what side you turn the contactor to hook up wires for the contacts.

Answer to question #2: No pics displayed....
