Hi everyone, I purchased replacement motors for 2 of my 33b tumblers today. I'll have to splice the power cord onto the motor, but the wires look identical, and I don't see any markings of a +/- on them. The cord doesn't appear to be polarized though (both prongs same height), so maybe it doesn't matter. Will the rotation change if I have the wires swapped?
I only know enough about electricity to know I need to ask first :help:
Thanks for any advice/experience you can offer!

So... Doesn't matter how they're connected? Don't need a cooked new motor!

Chad – Before the motors died, did you ever worry about which way you plugged in the (non-polarised) tumbler cords?
Same thing.

The motor doesn't care. If a cord has a ribbed wire it will be the white neutral.

Thanks for clarifying guys. Like I said, I'm a far cry from an electrician
