I have a 5000 BTU Air Conditioner apart and I need some help in figuring out the wiring. I uploaded the diagram and I'm thinking that I would use the existing power cord to connect to a plug-in controller.
I figure I need to keep the WH wire connected to the CAPACITOR. I would then disconnect the BR wire from the RY-COM switch and connect it to the BK wire from the power cord. I would also connect the BK wire that runs to the MOTOR to the BK power cord.
I would disconnect the BL & RD wires from the MOTOR (I would only run the fan on HI) and the OR wire from the CAPACITOR to the SYNC MOTOR. That effectively removes the electronic circuit board. All other connections would stay as in the diagram--OR and YL wires from the CAPACITOR to the MOTOR would stay as depicted.
I'm not an electrician, so I would appreciate someone with skill to give me their opinion. Thanks in advance
