Wiring ceiling fan no light to ceiling with a loop
Ceiling 3 black wires, 3 white wires red wire ground.
Operated by a switch NO DIMMER on Wall.
Also wires in ceiling operate 2 wall outlets.
so someone wired 3 black and 3 white. So old fan when u flipped wall switch the light on ceiling fan went on and off but the fan continued to run unless you pulled the chain on the fan.
I have a new fan no light. I have no clue what's hot or not. Nothing is marked.
I can cap the red wire coming out of the ceiling as I'm guessing that was for the light on the old fan?
How do I sort out the other wires 3 black 3 white?
I'm assuming this is a loop that someone did prior to us.
Thank you.

If you want the fan switched from the wall.... use the red and the white/neutral splice.
If you don't want the switch to work.... use the black/hot splice and the white/neutral splice.
Cap off the red.
Like joed mentioned.... the three blacks and three white must all remain connected.
