You could replace the motor and the motor control board with ones rated for the lower frequency. Or you could use a Variable Frequency Drive (made by companies such as Allen-Bradley, ABB, etc) or simply try running the machine. The frequency determines how fast the motors will spin. At 50 Hz the motor will run approximately 17% slower, i.e., if the motor ran at 100 rpm it would now run at 83 rpm.
All these symptoms are not connected. Alternators don't affect motor smoothness, or oil condition. Skip the temp, since it was normal.
Brown oil can merely need changing, some oil starts out sorta brown. If it is creamy, that means water is getting in, head gasket problems. That problem will give you a miss. If you are losing water from the radiator, and see water or vapor out the tail pipe, have the motor checked out by a mechanic. A compression test is worthwhile.
If new motor is 4 wire verses 3 wire use seperate capacitor between brown wires and don't use terminal on 3 pole cap. If this motor has a white strip on one brown wire you can wire it the old way using only 1 brown wire and tape off the other. Can't remeber this morning which brow wire to use . I need to leave. Goole replacemotor with 2 brown wires for more info or call where you bought it. Sorry got to run.
Assuming "Window Unit" with rotary switch. L1 (smooth part of line cord) to thermostat 1, thermostat 2 to overload (black disk) from overload to Common( C) terminal on compressor. From Run (R) terminal on Compressor to Common (C) terminal on dual capacitor. From Start (S) terminal on Compressor to "Herm" terminal on capacitor. From fan motor to # 4 on switch = Medium Speed, to # 6 on switch = High Speed, from fan motor to # 7 on switch - Low Speed. Brown wire from fan motor to (F) on dual capacitor, white wire from fan to (C) on capacitor and L2 (ribbedwire) (N) to (C) on capacitor
Black to Black, Purple to White and the new motor requires a run capacitor which brown goes to one side of capacitor and brown/white goes to the othe side of the capacitor. This is providing the old motor is a single speed. If the old motor is a two speed you have an incorrect replacement motor.
jenny,White and black is high speed,wire nut the yellow and blue by themselves(2) brown wires cap.yellow brown together and orange and purple together they should be direction wires.If the fan runs backwards change them
