•Using a multimeter, check the ohms value on each motor connectors. For BLUE and BLACK motor wires, the right value is ± 52 ohms. For BLUE and BROWN motor wires, the right value is ± 72 ohms. For BROWN and BLACK motor wires, the right value is ± 124 ohms. If the ohm values are the same, the motor is not defective. Replace the motor capacitor.
