I’ve admitted defeat. Well, I sent photos and info to a local spark and he informed me the motor would not be able to connect up to the switches. So I bought a new motor. Which doesn’t work either.

And now… I think it’s the capacitor that is the broken part (if only I’d checked that first). So I’ve ordered a new capacitor. If that works I’ll send the 2nd new motor back.

Thank you again.

I’ll look into those suggestions this eve. I’ve also asked the motor supplier for a wiring diagram. I’ll update if I get one.

Here you go, hopefully it makes sense. Resistance reading between each wire.

Yellow – Blue is the highest of all the pairings, 130 compared to the next highest of around 115.

But anything connected to blue gives the highest readings. What does that indicate?

This is the motor…

So difficult finding info about which wires are for what….

Would this not be called a 3 phase motor then? 3 speed motor instead?

Thank you for your continued advice.

Sure my new motor is correct? They look identical, but apart from one extra wire.

If I knew how to test a 3 phase motor with a multimeter then I could work out which wire needed to go where. Any idea how to do that?

Thanks again

Do you know a multimeter test I can do on the motor to determine which wires go where?

Hi Dave,

The new motor has a grey wire too (that had a crimp on it). 7 wires in total.

Old motor non responsive, I stripped it and put it back and still didn’t work so assume something in the coils has burnt out. Switch working fine.

When I wired up the new motor with the same colour wires, the motor turned on at Switch Position 1, and nothing at 2 and 3. Ran it on 1 for about 15 seconds and burning smell started, so turned it all off.

[Marky Mark]

Thank you for this. Very helpful. I believe that is how it was wired up to the original motor, however, the replacement motor colours don’t match exactly with the original, I tried wiring up the same and nearly blew it up. There is an extra grey wire too. I would love to know what multimeter tests I could do to find out which are the correct wires that need to go into each switch point to be sure. Any idea how I could do that?

Thanks
