[GreenKeys] is my Model 15 motor shot?

[Bruce Phillips]

Hi,

I suspect it's OK.....if the fuse did not blow, as you said earlier then 
it's unlikely it's shorted. Are you able to confirm it is an AC 
Synchronous Motor, or a AC Governed Motor?  My motor is a 50Hz, 110V 
motor (for Australia), so may be slightly different to the 60Hz version, 
but within ballpark....Depending on the multimeter, some are not great 
at measuring low resistance accurately. Did you measure the resistance 
at the motor terminal studs? If so you could check the remaining circuit 
by checking the continuity between the spring fingers that connect to 
the motor, and your power plug. I suspect that there is an issue with 
the motor control relay contacts......you should be able to work out 
where to check from the pic below.
