Need advice on installing 4-wire condenser motor

Postby Jack32 » Fri Sep 14, 2012 2:22 pm

My old condenser motor had 3 wires(black, orange and purple). My new Emerson 1859 has 4 wires(black,white,brown, brown with white stripe).
I know for a fact that the Emerson 1859 is a direct replacement for my motor. It says so on the nameplate of the old motor

How to you connect this * My old motor has purple going to the capacitor, black going to the defrost board and the orange goint to the contactor.

The heat pump is a Lennox 3-ton unit 10HPB36-5P circa 1999

Thanks for any assistance.
