I have a St. Croix Prescott that needs an exhaust fan replacement. It is actually the 2nd time I've had to do this ( what am I doing wrong? ). However, this time the replacement fan I got is the Fasco A082, which replaced the 70219457 model. Everything fit right into place, but I ran into trouble connecting the power. The old fans had a white, black, and brown wire ( I know brown wasn't used ). This new fan has 2 black wires, and a ground wire attached to the motor housing. On the old fan, the white went to white and the blue went to black. How do I tell on this new fan which black wire goes to which connection?
Also, the two nylon disconnects on the new fan are both male, where the old one was 1 male and 1 female. So now I have a wire that I can't connect to the blue wire. How is something like this accomplished? I figure I could strip the black wire ( when I figure out which one ) and put on a female connector, but I've never done that. Is it that difficult to do?
Thanks.
Here's a picture of what I'm talking about.
