Black and Red are the ends of the primary coil. The Blue wire is either
"tapped" off the coil (some number of turns) short of Red end, or is wound
as a smaller secondary coil. Black to Blue provides a weaker magnetic field
for Low speed. From your Ohm readings it appears there is a break in the
primary coil or Black wire connection, likely the thermal fuse wound into
the coil.

When the sine wave of 120V Alternating Current is fed into the coil, the
steel core is magnetized, reversing N-S poles at 60 Hz.

Thank you.

The arrangement of
copper "tubing" inserted the steel core provides a secondary/induced
magentic field in the core, lagging behind the primary coil's sine wave.
This is the "shaded pole".

Thank you, again.

The phase difference in the primary sine wave
and the induced shaded pole drive the rotor around.

A shaded-pole motor is a type of induction motor.

This is the sort of explanation I sought.

Many thanks,
