Re: Reversing Rotation on a GE Motor (Capacitor Start/Run)

Baron,

I do have a multi-meter. I measured the resistances between all the
leads and it's a little more obvious now. Please go back to my web
page link to have a look at what I measured. Both capacitors have join
with separate small coated leads, which both have continuity with the
small green lead joining with the main power input on the other side.
The only thing throwing me for a loop is the start capacitor to green
lead reads 3.6 ohms, while the run capacitor to the same green lead
reads 8.1 ohms. Is it possible that there are two start windings in
parallel?

Looks to me like I should switch the green and yellow leads.
