Got a new motor from an authorized dealer and put it in. Right away I notice that the motor is spinning in the other direction. The original motor spins clockwise when looking at the fan, the new one is spinning counter-clockwise. The wires are all connected correctly, plus it wouldn't matter on an AC motor anyway. So does anyone know what's going on? Was there a change in the specs? Also, the fan is shaped in such a way that it would be more efficient blowing downwards, and now it's blowing upwards. The part number is 4200170. Thanks in advance!

May I ask you where you sourced your part from? Is the noise level the same as before? Thanks!
