Oh Boy.....
Any of you guys know about outside AC units.?
Our AC quit working. PG&E said I need a new fan motor and capacitor. So I got both of those and installed them.
The new parts (especially the cap) were a little different from the old parts. But that is what the guys gave me, and they had my old motor and cap to look at when I ordered the new parts.
Anyway......I think I may have installed something wrong. I got it all in,turn on the breaker, and the fan started to spin. I thought that was weird, so I went inside to make sure I had not turned it on from the thermostat. That was off, so I went back outside, just in time to see the fan stop spinning and a pop noise from the cap.
There were only two wires from the motor to the cap. I connected those colors per the diagram om the motor.
That left me with a Blue and Yellow from the AC controls to the cap. Is it possible to get those two wires "back-wards".?
Did I FRY my brand new cap and motor.? Any help is much appreciated.
Thank You
