My work with electrical stuff was many years ago and the old saying is true, "If you don't use it, you lose it." I have a new convection blower for my stove. The blower is a Fasco, 115 V, 1.5 A, 3000 RPM.

How do I determine which of the two wires coming from the blower is common? Both wires are white and both have printing on them.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks Scott. That makes perfect sense. 'Appreciate your time answering my question. It's been thirty years since I worked with this stuff in the military. I guess it's time to get reacquainted with it!
