Marce Clark Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 hey everyone i'm working on an R & M and could really use some help. I made a wiring diagram based on the way it was wired when I got it. i had replace the wires and when I got it together it doesn't run right. on high it won't run without a push and then it runs fine on all the speeds except on the other speeds it buzzes. if you start it on medium or low it will start on it's own but runs backwards. I have tried different capacitors but got the same results. here are some pics. any help will be very appreciated. Marce RM 1304.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Olson Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 This may not be an easy one to fix "online." First, disconnect the three motor wires and check them with your ohm meter. You should have three readings, from green to black, from green to white, and from black to white. The lowest reading added to the medium reading should equal the highest reading. Also check from the motor frame to the motor wires. Post your results, please. The lowest reading pair will be your run winding and your medium reading pair will be your start winding. The wire not involved with the highest reading will be the common. The common will be connected to the wall plug The run will be connected to high and the start will be connected to the capacitor. Post as you go if this is not clear to you.🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marce Clark Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Hey Mark i got the readings. green to black = 205 green to white = 234 black to white = 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Olson Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 That means that black is common. Try swapping your white and black wires. Green looks to be correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
