I have a 9 year old Bryant compressor fan motor (3 wires) in which the bearings went bad. The capacitor had 3 connection poits on it. I purchased a new fan motor; it has 4 wires. New capacitor has 2 connection points on it. I need some advice on how to hook up the wires and capacitor on the new ones. DETAILS: compressor: Bryant model 661CJ030-A old fan motor: GE HC39GE237A with brown-black-yellow wires new fan motor: AO Smith FSE1026SV1 with brown-black-yellow-[I][U]brown/white[/U][/I] wires old capacitor: factory installed with 3 connection points new capacitor: Dayton 2GE74 with 2 connection points Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. It's very muggy these days in northern Virginia. Thanks.

Looking for advice on whether to replace a compressor or not. :confused: In 2006 I redid the entire HVAC in the house. The installation company has been servicing the units annually for spring and fall for AC and heat, respectively. In general I do not think they are someone that would scam me but... There are two systems for the house. One is a 4 ton the other a 3 ton. During the recent spring checkup they ohmed the compressors. The 3 ton to ground measured 100-150 Megs. The 4 ton was 48 Megs. They indicated American Standard would replace the 4 ton under the 10 year warranty. They recommend checking the 3 ton next year before that warranty expires. While the compressor would be replace the labor is $1,400 for each unit. These units are using R-22. I found an older report that the 4 ton was 100+ megs in 2013 and earlier. They also quoted replacement but I really do not want to spend that money now. I'm disappointed that these units are 'failing' in less than 10 year after spending some $16,000 to redo the system in 2006. This megohm readings are new to me not having seen them used previously. I've had a number of houses previously and generally the AC lasted for decades without problems. Is this really a problem? Should I just do the warranty replacement and hope the rest stays okay?
