 It doesn't! I'll probably do some scanning tomorrow, vacuumland could benefit from a larger copy of that wiring diagram!

We need a thread dedicated to technical information, drawings, diagrams and how to's organized by brand so we can save this information in one place that is accessable.

Yeah sure why not, One way to find out!


 


Same motor, just made by different companies. Well, I doubt they're different. best case scenario, the Oreck works. worst case, it explodes. A lot.

How can you ask 'what goes where' when there's a wiring diagram? Most Oreck motors are marked with a black dot for which terminals are hot or neutral. I usually wire the motor by matching my motors' grounding pin to face in the same direction as the one in the diagram.

Go borrow someone's Oreck with the same lights that you have & pop open the bootom & have a gander how it's wired then.
