Ao Smith Motors Wiring Diagram
Look here at that link and look under International Refrigeration Products SPDT 24 volt Coil Fan Relay Part #90-370 If that is the switch your talking about that should help you out.
There should only be 2 wires coming from the motor itself. Which way they get wired will determine the direction of rotation. The reason the switch has so many wires is because it was probably used to reverse direction. If you do get a switch, look for one that is horsepower rated, not an ordinary switch. Motors are inductive loads and when switching them off, there is an inductive kick that will cause an arc, possibly welding the contacts, and you might have to cut some wires to stop the motor in an emergency situation.
Just tell us how many wires are coming out of the motor, and what colors and we can help you. There are 2 looped wires that are for changing rotation, dont include those.
