When a motor fails, it is often difficult to see why it failed just by looking at it.  A motor placed in storage may or may not work, regardless of its physical appearance.  A quick check-out can be done with a simple ohm meter, but there's a lot more information to collect and weigh before actually putting it to use.  At no time during the motor check out is power required.  If it is connected - disconnect it before attempting the steps below.
