Admiral Condensor Fan Wiring

I think my condenser fan is about shot in my refrigerator. How do I wire a aftermarket fan to it. I have 3 separate wires running to it. Orange,Blue, & a Green. Can I just run my ground to the bracket to the new motor? I have no clue what the orange and blue wires are hot/neutral. Is there a way I can check it with a multimeter.

Thanks!

Why not just replace the fan with the correct one?

Thanks for the reply AJ’ But I’ve looked everywhere for the correct condenser fan motor with no luck. The connector it’s self is on the motor & all the ones that I’ve looked up have to be wired together. There are a ton of motors that will fit my fridge, I’m just clueless about the wiring.

Your model number should have a E or a M at the end of it, but the wiring diagram seem to be the same for both of them.

Just to make sure we are talking about the same fan motor.

The condenser fan is down by the compressor.
The evaporator fan is in the freezer.

You said condenser fan, but in the wiring diagram it does show a blue, orange and green/ground wire for the evaporator fan motor.

Should also be easy to check with a meter. Put your black (-) meter probe on a metal chassis ground and with the red (+) probe check for voltage on the blue and orange wire without the motor connected. What ever wire has voltage is the hot/positive wire and the other one should be the neutral.

Hope I explained that correctly and so you can understand it.

Yea that helps a ton AJ’ Is there anyway to tell which wire is hot and neutral of the new fan motor?

I’m not sure what your using for a motor to start with, but not so sure it really makes any difference on a 110-120 Vac motor anyways, if the motor has a metal case just make sure the case is grounded.
