Most newer universal replacement motors are capable of rotating either direction, depending on how they are wired. With these type motors, usually designated as CW/CCW (clockwise/counterclockwise) it is simply a case of switching the position of the power supply wires that connect to the motor terminals. If the motor does not specify that it is reversible, it can't be done. If you have the motor make and model number, you should be able to tell by looking it up online or contacting the manufacturer. ---------The above information is incorrect. Yes, most motors ARE reversible, though none I have ever seen are done through the power leads as these are AC voltage motors and not DC, which is polarity particular and would spin the opposite direction. Either the motor is reversible or not. If it is, it will have 4 extra wires coming out, (besides the two for the power and the one or two for the capacitor connection), (short wires), that you can reverse the way they're plugged into each other. Some have a single reversible plug, others have 2 pairs of wires which you reverse. If it's not reversible, either return the motor or get another fan blade.
