Question:

How do I wire an AC reversible motor?

I have an adjustable bed with a bad controller and just want to be able to elevate the head a bit. It is a 110 volt AC reversible motor with 3 wires. I think that I just find the quot;commonquot; and straddle the 110 volt AC across either of the other two wires depending on the direction that I want the motor to turn....anyone know if this is correct?

You have not given enough firm info to give a safe answer. There are a number of motor configurations that are produced and bad advice is worse than no advice. Maybe you could call the manufacturer and get some details about that set. Please be careful. Maybe just replace the controller. Or maybe turn the motor shaft by hand for now with the power disconnected.
