That's pretty strange, it's hard to tell from the picture if there's a bare end of a black wire, or if all the black wires are terminated in wire nuts.
Do you recall how the old fan was connected to this? Three white wires is odd. It looks like two of them were probably tied together and maybe there was a white wire going to the fan tied with them. If these were tied together, then putting a wire nut on those two might get the new fan to work (breaker off when doing this).
But where did the black wire from the fan go? Did it go to that separate unterminated white wire? Or is there a bare black wire hiding in that picture?
