Trane blower motor seized, replaced with Dayton motor - Wiring help!
Hello everyone, new here
Desperately need a hand with some wiring. The old GE motor on my Trane XL80 went out. I contacted Grainer and they recommended a #3LU79 Dayton motor with a matching capacitor.
Coming out from the GE motor is a white (goes to CIRC on the board), Yellow (hot park), Black (cool), Blue (hi heat), and Red (low heat).
Now on the back of the Dayton motor, I have 2 Brown lines (1 w/ white strip and 1 without), White, Black, Yellow, Red and Orange. Also, 1 green which appears to be a ground only.
I can submit photos if that will help, just have no idea where to put these. I took out the GE and greased it and was able to get it running for a few days, but eventually it went back to chirping and finally just stopped on me.
Also, this capacitor does not indicate common, there are just 2 4-pronged leads and that's it. FWIW, I work in IT and have worked on cars for years and years, so I figured this couldn't be THAT difficult. But I just don't want to wire it up how I think it should be, and have it blow up in my face.
Any help would be much, much appreciated!
I found this site via a thread by Epiguy on these forums. Can't link to it because I'm so new. He asked about ac wiring. It's title "wiring ac blower fan motor".
That thread was very helpful and would be awesome if I could follow that but I am having trouble exactly what goes where.
