I am getting agitated trying to install this agitator in my Westinghouse cooler (Just had to say that  ), actually I do have a question about hooking the wiring up to the compressor. On my compressor I have a white, Black and Red terminals, when hooking up the agitator will it be as simple as white on white, black on black and red on red or is there a diffrent combo I should be using. I am not an electrician and wiring is always my weakness.  |

Sorry I should have included that in my post, It is a 1941 Westinghouse Master cooler. Normally I would just replace 1 wire at a time but the little pieces of wire present didn't have any insulation left on them.
Thanks for the assistance

The motor should run constantly so it is wired to the same black and white terminals that your power cord uses.

Thanks didn't want to just start haphazardly hooking up wires. The agitator also has 3 wires Black, White and Red.

if it's the original agitator motor, then the white/red should go to a capacitor down on the compressor deck somewhere as it's ( the original motor design) a split-phase motor & needs the cap to run, so black should be "hot"/L1, white is "neutral"/L2, & Red is to the capacitor which should have its other terminal going to "hot"/L1, like I said this type of motor won't run without it ( the capacitor)

When I received the compressor unit the agitator wiring had been cut or had rotted to the point it broke. So there was only about 2-3 inches of wire hanging off the 3 posts on the compressor housing and unfortunately all the insulation was gone so I was not able to make a note on what went where. I do know it was wired direct to the compressor (if this was wrong that may explain the lack of insulation on the wires ). I didn't see any capacitor. I do believe it to be an original agitator motor. |

If there's no capacitor except for the starting cap for the compressor, then the third lead should go to the start terminal of the compressor, work the same way as a split-phase cap' start motor, but it uses the inductance of the start winding to "split" the phase for it's red lead/wire.
If it had an agitator motor run-cap, it would be inside the rectangular black box shown in your #2 picture of your compressor deck.
