Test the
motor for continuity using a multitester.
Set the multitester to the ohms setting X1. Touch each probe to
one of the wires or terminals. The reading should show continuity
in the range of 600 ohms for a functional motor. A reading of
infinity or zero indicates a faulty motor and it should be replaced.
Testing a Three Wire
Motor
Test the
motor for continuity using a multitester.
Set the multitester to the ohms setting X10. Touch one probe to
the wire from the wire cap. Touch the other probe to each of the
two other wires in turn. The reading should be between infinity
and zero for each wire.
If
the motor test results in a zero or infinity reading on either
wire, the motor should be replaced.
