I am replacing my fan motor now and there is an extra wire that I am
not sure what to do with. It is a replacement motor from AO Smith that
is replacing a motor in a Rheem 90+ imperial furnace--it has an extra
brown wire with white stripes.

The two browns are capacitor wires, connect them to the capacitor. No other
wires go to the capacitor. The white is 120 volt common wire hook that to
the common spade on the control board. The other colors are the speed wires,
put one wire each on the appropriate terminal of the control board.
