Reversing Magnetek Motor


Rex Piekarczyk

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to bring this fan back to life with this new Magnetek motor, which Airmaster uses on their current equivalent models.

The problem is Airmaster reversed their propeller pitch sometime between when this fan was produced and now, so the current motor spins the wrong way.

Has anyone successfully reversed this motor? I called Magnetek and when I requested a wiring diagram they hung up on me.

I need to reverse the polarity of the start winding/capacitor circuit, but identifying this circuit is the challenge.
