BFT SUB Motor test.
#2
First connect the motor wires to a terminal block in this way
1st position: Blue wire
2nd position: Brown wire and one of the two wires of the capacitor
3d position: Black wire and the other wire of the capacitor

Use the other side of the terminal block to connect power as follows. Be prepared to immediately disconnect power if needed.

1) To test movement to one direction (may be opening or closing):
- Neutral goes to the Blue wire
- Phase goes to the Brown wire plus capacitor
Nothing is connected to the Black wire (but don't touch it or allow it to make contact with anything)

2) To test movement to the other direction (the opposite of the one above):
- Neutral goes to the Blue wire
- Phase goes to the Black wire plus capacitor
Nothing is connected to the Brown wire (but don't touch it or allow it to make contact with anything)

PS: In case the motor does not move but a low buzzing sound is audible, it is possible that the capacitor is damaged.
