Where does the extra white wire go from the MC42 electric motor

I have removed a Hubbel electric motor from a rise & return disability bed and would like to re-use it for another application by just wiring a plug onto the end and connecting to the mains. The problem is that the cable has 4 wires in it. The earth, Red, Black, and white.By connecting the red, black and earth the motor fails to energise but what does the white wire do? Upon removing the motor cover the white wire goes to the motor windings along side the black wire onto a pick up/sensor connector or something.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated
Thank you
Brian

The red and black wires supply power to the motor to either turn it one way or the other. The white wire is neutral. The motor is dc; look at the nameplate data and it tells you the operating voltage. Black and white make the motor turn one way, power to the red and white and it goes the other way. (Black neg. Red pos.)

Impossible to source without a maker. The search query for this is simply

make model replacement remote

or go to the maker website.

Why don't you ask the thieves to return the remote?

Fan wont work makes a humming noise

Bad motor or you need to remove the shipping bracket that immobilizes the motor during shipping.
Call the Fan manufacturer if your past the 30 day department return window, but still within the one year manufacturer warranty. If you paid by credit card-they extend the warranty an extra year for you. Also, check your wiring to make sure you connected black/blue wires together to the black wire coming from the ceiling and the white wire to the white wire coming from you ceiling.

Go out and spend the money for a Hunter Fan. They have good ratings and customer satisfaction.
