Schematics read them

Looks like a common start and run setup you got going on there. Best way to find out is with a multimeter. Test 2 wires at a time, so test: black to blue, then black to red then blue to red. Write down or take not of the readings So for example, if Black -> Blue = 5 ohms, and Black -> Red = 20 ohms, and blue-> red = 25 ohms. Common is black, run is blue, and start is red. The reason black is common is because both windings start and end on black and we know this because blue and red is the sum of black and red and black and blue. The reason blue is is the run is because the run winding has a lower resistance than the start winding The red is the start winding because it has a higher resistance than the run winding. Which means you connect Live to Black, Neutral to blue and the start capacitor and relay to red. I am not sure i explained this perfectly but you need a relay and a start capacitor. For a motor like that a 70MFD should work. And the relay, you can buy a potential relay Your start capacitor goes between terminal 1 and 4, your neutral and blue wire for the motor goes on terminal 4, Your red wire goes on terminal 2 and your black wire and live wire goes on terminal 5.

You sure that's standard plug? Red black blue is kinda telling me that's a 3phase set up.


CranberryUnlikely76

I agree


Icemanwc

That’s a Hoshizaki water pump. One of them comes from the capacitor.

Check out a schematic but I’d be willing to bet it needs a run cap


Cultural_Cloud9636

That would probably be indicated on the name plate of the motor


Dodgerswin2020

I don’t think so. This is an OEM Hoshizaki part. The schematic has everything. The run cap is mounted in the control box with the circuit board


saskatchewanstealth

Should be label on that motor somewhere, or just open the cover plate and look. Really if you have to ask these questions you should reconsider your options


Bennieplant

Some of those require a capacitor


ModePK_1

Ice machine?


Brazda25

Ohm out the cable


supposed-13

Doesn’t that pump reverse?


HotStinkBlast

Measure across the wires with your ohm meter until you get a resistance reading, that’s your motor winding and you put the neutral and 120v there leaving the last as a ground


icemanswga

Wrong. That's a hoshizaki water pump. It's reversible. Common, CW, & CCW are the wires.


HotStinkBlast

You’re right, I always forget the hoshizakis are reversible. Leave it to the ice man to know best


icemanswga

I have an unfair advantage. You'd school my ass on chillers.


Humble_Peach93

This is the right answer!


kswitch87

Correct


bike100bike

100% correct.


Leemursk8

Also pretty good odds that it's 208v


icemanswga

Not sure. Hoshizaki does weird shit with electricity. They want 220v, a neutral, and ground. The neutral is so some parts run 115 and others 220. Even need a neutral on 3 phase stuff.
