4) Install the new motor

5) Remove the blue wire that is connected from the terminal # 4 on the new motor to the thermal overload switch ( see the picture of the motor on the right side above )

7) Remove the red wire from terminal # 2 from the old motor and install on the terminal # 2 on the new motor.

8) The black wire that went to terminal # 6 from the old motor, now install it ( with the newer smaller terminal ) onto # 6 on the new motor.

9) The white wire that went to terminal # 5 from the old motor, now  install it ( with the newer smaller terminal ) onto # 5 on the new motor.
