I can’t quite identify what ‘E’ is from those resistance values. There’s also a blue wire behind the panel which may be significant.


A careful stripdown is needed, I think. It’s a four pole motor, so the stator (outside) windings should be in two groups of four. One group is the main winding, the other, the auxiliary.


If it’s the the type of motor I think it is, the auxiliary winding wire will be thinner, giving a lower reactance/resistance ratio, and so providing the phase shift needed for starting torque.


If you find a centrifugal switch, one wire will go to the aux winding, the other to the connection panel.
