Carrier 48SS

[fmuelle]

Hi! I have a Carrier 48SS030 problem. (1) The indoor fan motor does not kick in when the unit starts. Could the large condenser/capacitor (CAP1 on the side of the motor bracket) be the cause? (2) Also, the wires for the motor assembly ripped off the circuit board upon disassembly. I only reconnected blue (to BM) and yellow (to L2). How about the brown and red cables? (It's a multi-speed motor, so I guess they are needed...)

what do you mean the wires got ripped off the circuit board? the capacitor wires are usually brown - brown/white. a multispeed 240 motor uses different colors for the speeds. those are located on your control schematic.

I used the schematics to connect blue (to BM) and yellow (to L2).
The schematics has red going to BM, yet there's only a second unused L2 header on the circuit board. And blue is tagged "030" (my model), red says "036,042,060" in the schematics.

Looking at the schematics again, brown/white and yellow seem to connect, so maybe I should connect my brown to the 2nd L2 header?

But that still leaves red unaccounted for.

Any idea?

Also, if I need a new CAP1 (or even indoor fan motor), where could I order that?
