A/C problem

[tmh]

I have a Rheem central air conditioner in the model series AKA (model# is RAKA-042JAZ).  It had water damage and motor stopped working.  I bought a new motor.  It has an extra line compare to the old one.  I would like to find out how to connect it.  Thank you for your help.

I’ll go outside to figure out one by one.  I may have to ask a friend’s help to understand it.  Thank you very much.

look on the side of the motor

How many wires and what color on the original motor? Were they all connected to terminals?
There is a wiring diagram on the side of the motor. One color for L-1 one color for L-2 and 2 colors for the capacitor. Your link states that the motor uses a external capacitor and is a one speed motor.
Follow the wiring diagram on the motor.
