Received replacement motor from @Avast Daniel for my K1 Kalk Stirrer.

New motor has different colored wires than my original. Just guessing…I’m assuming I can pair the red one with either of the black ones? But I’m not sure.

here’s the original motor in my Stirrer:

Here’s the new replacement motor:

Hello! Thanks for reaching out. The wiring for the motor is:
Small Black wires connected together and then connected to either Big Black wires (krimp)
Red wire connected to other black wire (krimp)
Blue wire gets clipped off
