AO Smith 1 1/2 HP 115/230V 56C Replacement Motor - Page 3 Questions & Answers
Pump stopped running
Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.
It could be the pump is bound up but it is more likely the motor is failing. It may be a small part such as the capacitor or the starting switch, but could also be more severe such as the winding itself. You will also want to examine the shaft where it passes thru the pump and motor and look for signs of rust from a pump seal leak.
If you are not familiar with testing these parts your best bet would be a local electric motor repair shop to see if the motor can be repaired or if it would need to be replaced. They should also be able to ensure there is no pump damage.
If this answer does not fix your problem, please comment with additional details prior to rating the answer. Positive feedback is appreciated once your problem is solved!

I want to reverse rotation
I believe all you have to do is swap your two hot wires,that works for 3-phase but not sure on single phase
Mi HAVE A 6HP PUMP
could be but more likely the centrifugal switch is not turning on the run windings in the motor
I look at the A.O. Smith Motor Master University
That is correct...if you have done that and still have problems post a comment that includes a description of what is happening and the motor model and serial number for further assistance.

Have 2 black wires n
The TWO Black Wires are Phase and neutral and it's irrelevant which way they go on the motor, the Other is the earth and that MUST connect to the case.
Black, L1 & L2 the other green EARTH.
115 or 120 doesn't matter
I have a 1hp 115/230 phase 1 sprinkler pump what
The pressure switch needs to be sized for the pressure and the motor current. The pressure would depend on your piping system, and hao many sprinklers you have on a section. You can buy a pressure switch that is adjustable, and you can set the pressure you need. You also must be sure the current rating (amps) of the pressure switch can handle the motor current (amps) there are is a wide range of switches available. You can't go wrong with a square d though. Available Home Depot, graingers, electrical supply etc.

The L1 and L2 are the load terminals. Connect the black wires to the L1 and L2 and the green one to the green colored screw.

I am assuming you are running 110 vac. Usually there is a diagram on the plate with the motor specification. You want the low voltage for110 and high for 220 motor wiring diagram you connect the motor as shown. If it is not on that motor it maybe on the old one they are usually the same.
You will need wire nuts to tie together the wires.
Note if this is a capacitive start or switch start. Allot of pool pumps are Switch start.

There is a number of things that could be causing the problem. The most likely thing is that a bearing on the motor is going out. The other possibility is that there's a foreign object stuck in the impeller. The best thing to do would be to DISCONNECT THE POWER and then remove one of the pipes connected to the pump. See if the impeller (the wheel with vanes on it) turns freely. If it doesn't turn freely and there's no foreign objects, then it's a bearing going bad. You should turn the pump off because it could damage itself further. Depending on your mechanical skill or availability of a local motor shop, it might be cheaper to get a new motor or whole new pump than it would be to repair it.
Sounds like bearing problem
So do you want to replace the bearing or need instructions to do so or do you need to find a place to buy the pump?

What's the source of the info that the two orange wires are Low & High?
Orange is an unusual color, but I'd say, with 99.999% certainty, that if you put a voltmeter across the two orange wires, it'll read 220 volts (nominal).
The two orange and one white lead give you the ability to run @ 110 volts -- there will be 110 volts between one orange and white and also the other orange and white.
For this motor you only need the two orange wires which will give you 220 volts between the two. Cap off the neutral/white wire (not needed) & connect the two orange wires, one to L1 and one to L2 on the motor (L = Line). And don't forget to connect the ground...

P.S. You should also have a GFCI on this circuit.
Wire wayne 1.5 hp irrigation motor.
Your wires- Black=hot, White=common, bare copper wire=ground.
Motor wires- Black=hot, White=common.
Connections: Black to black, white to white, bare copper from line in to motor frame.
The wires from the motor should have been designed to carry the power load. Heavier wiring is always an option, to a point.

green to srcew on the motor. this is ground.,
Black on T1
Red on T2
If the rotation is going the wrong way, simply switch the black to T2
Red to T1.
Check this before you couple it to the pump..
Pool pump motor wiring issue
IF THE SCREW ABOVE IS IN THE METAL MOTOR HOUSING IT IS MOST LIKELY THE GROUND. GREEN WIRES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH GROUND IN ALL ELECTRICAL APPLICATIONS. YOU SHOULD BE SAFE IN HOOKING THE GREEN TO THE SCREW. HOPE THIS HELPS, JODY
