Is there a way to determine the power wire for a window fan motor?

Feb 06, 2004 1 Replies

Greetings:



I took a motor out of window exhaust / ventilation fan, which circuitry can control speed, thermostat and rotation direction (exhaust or ventilation). The motor has 6 wires 2 black, gray, red, white and brown. WHT - BRN measures 100ohm, RED - GRY measures



290ohm, the rest of the wire has Mohm resistance. I can hear the motor noise when hooking 115VAC from an outlet directly to WHT - BRN and RED - GRY. However, the fan doesn't rotate. Am I missing something?

Any suggestion and help is greatly appreciated.


Maybe it is a motor with condenzator(black-black).If soo, white and red go to one wire, brown and black another wire, and another black go to grey.
