Edit for clarity and moved you into a random fan category.

The search query for this is

make model wiring schematic

White would normally be the live and your other two are probably fan direction or light related.

Here are a few

Black goes to the black on the fan white goes to the white on the fan and the red will go to the blue wire on the fan for lights. Now if you have a black wire with a white stripe on it from the fan that is the light wire.

What is the whirring diagram

Most fans have 3 wires usually a white, black, and a blue(or black with white stripe) the white wire is the neutral and goes to the white wire in the ceiling box, the black wire is the fan hot lead and goes to the black hot lead in box and the blue(or other blk/wht) is for the lights and would go to the switched lead in the ceiling box(sometimes another color but not white or green)..if you don't have a switched lead coming out of the ceiling box and just two wires then the white goes to the white in the ceiling and both black and blue go to the black wire in the ceiling box

Hunter ceiling fan

The usual house wiring for a ceiling fan with two wall switches , is white to white, black to black, and red to the other wire, usually blue or black striped with blue. If this fan has a remote , then it usually only requires one power wire, black and the white neutral.

Wiring a ceiling fan with light fixture. there is a black and white stripe wire, one black wire, one white wire and ground wire. Coming out of the ceiling is two black and one white. one copper. please...

The black and black with white stripe are for the light and fan respectfully. The white wire is your neutral. That leaves the ground to your copper ground wire. If you have two seperate switches to operate the fan and light then the two black and black with white will tie in to seperate black supply wires. If only one switch then they will tie in together to the black supply wire.

Bought a hunter remote and can't figure out what wires to connect

The remote red wire should go to the black wire that goes to the light. The remote black wire should go to the black or black with white stripe wire to the fan. The white wire should go to both white wires from the light and fan.

The power in (black and white) should be connected to your power source black and white. Bare copper wire to ground on fixture

Ceinlg fan

If your house has only a black and white wire, than you need to tie the black, balack and white striped wire to the black of the hous. You than have to use the pull chains on the fan when the switch is on, to turn the fan or the fan light on or off. If youre house had a red wire than that would be tied in with the black and white striped wire and you would have two swithes on the wall to control the fan and light instead of having to use the pull chains.

Ceiling Fan Electric

hi,
you may have two dedicated ceiling fan circuits coming out of that box, check to make sure theres not a black wire bunched up in the ceiling or cut off, or try this

1.white to white wires, and black wire and black with a white stripe to red wire out of ceiling for fan and light together operation

2. If you can find the black and the red and the white coming out of the ceiling then you may have two switches on the wall for that fan, red for black fan wire, black with white stripe for the to black out of the ceiling , white all together. try that combination
for separate light and fan control from the wall

good luck, and be careful
