Duo Therm A/C Motor Replacement

This may help. I do not know your model but this is my 2004 vintage Duo-Therm 13.5 K BTU unit.

The new motor in place as a big picture of what I have. Note the compressor is removed in this pic.



The new motor next to the old. See the rust on the old motor stator


The tag on the old motor. Used a 5 mfd capacitor.


The tag on the new motor. Needs a 10 mfd capacitor and it came with the motor


In my unit, there is a dual capacitor. Half was needed for the fan the other for the compressor. I still needed the compressor one to work. So I left the dual installed, just unplugged the fan motor leads and put them on the new capacitor. On mine, the new capacitor still fit in the box. See here





Hope this helps

Thanks John
You have what I believe is the same exact a/c unit. Mine is from 2002. The only difference that I see is that you wired the brown wire from the fan motor to the new capacitor and the white wire it appears you have going to the old capacitor. My instructions say to "connect the brown and white wires to the remaining terminal on the new fan capacitor". And yes I have to connect the old capacitor to the new one using the 6" jumper wire that came with the new kit.
****Update***John I just read your note on your one photo that you did attach the brown and white motor wires to the new capacitor. Is that correct? The white wire appears to be connected to the old one in your photo. Probably doesn't matter either way.
Thanks,Bob
