I apologize for providing wrong information. I pasted the pic of the motor from fleabay not realizing the label was different than the motor I received. The new motor I received has a 7.5 Mfd capacitor bolted to the side of it. It appears to me that I should be able to wire it direct to 115. It has run that way on the bench drawing .9 amp running with no load.
If I understand this correctly the black capacitor (88-108 mfd) functioned as a start capacitor for both the compressor and the fan motor. The thermal interrupter only controlled that cap. The silver cap (20+7.5 mfd) functioned as the run capacitor for both the compressor and the fan motor. I am unsure of how to wire the remaining two capacitors and the thermal interrupter in to the compressor. Would there be a problem with wiring new motor (and its 7.5 mfd capacitor ) in with the existing capacitors the way the old motor (which did not have its own capacitor) was? That would then provide a starter cap and an additional 7.5 mfd cap to the new motor which it may not require or tolerate.
