My ceiling fan has a large light fixture which somehow became unscrewed from the hollow stud that hangs from the motor housing. This caused the weight of the fan to be entirely on the wires that connect the switch(es) to the motor.
Long story short, the wires that connect directly to the stator coils are severed. I need to resolder them to the coils, but I don't know which wire goes to which stator coil lead. There are two leads on each of the two coils. There is an outer coil and an inner coil and each of these has an outer and inner wire with respect to the center of the stator.
Can anyone help? There are 4 wires: Orange, Red, Yellow, and Purple. Is there a conventional color scheme that will help me match these up to the appropriate coil leads: Outer coil-outer lead, outer coil-inner lead, inner coil-outer lead, inner coil- inner lead.
Shown here is a picture of my stator and wires, as well as a picture of a similar fan motor I found on the internet with similar wires connected.
