Whirlpool Dishwasher 665.13752K602 Circulation Pump

[Wingnutt]

I've reinstalled the circulation pump after replacing the bearings, circlips, and impellor seal. When I disassembled the motor I removed the capacitor and forgot to mark the yellow and the blue wires. The capacitor has a 1 stamped above one blade and a 2 above the other. I've found a tech sheet W1013099C but the wire colors to the capacitor don't match up with what's on the diagram. I know that a capacitor runs one way, charging at one end and discharging at the other. How would I check to find which wire is what and which capacitor blade is intake or output? I'm don't want to damage the capacitor or motor by running the capacitor the wrong way. Is that even possible of will it just do nothing? I do have a multimeter.

Motor start capacitors are generally non-polarized...

... since this is an AC component, it should not be a problem. PCB mounted capacitors that are polarized DC components will always have the negative side terminals marked.

Thank you all, blue 1 and yellow 2.
