No, It is for Heating only
According to the specification, it is rated for 72 locked rotor amps (LRA) and 12 full load amps (FLA). If the motor is less than that on the nameplate, you should be fine. Keep in mind this is really designed for electric baseboard heat and there is a 45 second delay. This is to keep the heat from short cycling during minor temperature changes.
I would not. The control is to be used with a thermostat, a low volt input that heats a contact plate warping the plate causing a contact. You need a motor relay. David
