Looking for any advice how to wire this blower motor to a 120v outlet. My dad pulled it out of a pellet burner and attached an extension cord to the terminals (black wire to red terminal, white wire to white terminal, ground wire to a screw on the frame.) When he plugged it in it ran for about 10 seconds and stopped. I assumed since the motor was marked 115V 60Hz that it could be plugged directly to an outlet, but neither of us are too familiar with electric motors. Does anyone know what we did wrong?

Thanks!

 

Is is easy to spin round without power, check the resistance of the coil,what happens if you reverse the power wires, it shouldn't alter anything?

 

Appears to be a typical shaded pole blower motor!
I agree, check the resistance across the motor leads
