115V I assume?
WHT is Neutral
Line is the hot lead
This is a 3 speed motor, BLK to Line is High
BLU to Line is Medium
Red to Line is Slow.

The Reostat is connected in series with whichever speed works for you.
Line power goes into one red wire and the other red wire goes to whichever
speed you want. Leave the other colors unconnected.

Also, if your "rheostat" isn't designed to for use with motors (such as ceiling fans), it will probably do bad things in the circuit, such as burning out the motor or catching on fire.

Exactly. AC motor speed is determined by the line frequency, not current flow as in DC motors. That's why many AC motors are stamped with two RPM ratings, one for the US with 60 hz, and another slightly lower RPM when the motor is used in Europe on 50 hz.
