    You have a good chance of guessing but they do sell the proper tools to troubleshoot these motors.

    I would suggest you follow the unit manufacturer recommendations for troubleshooting the unit. The motor can only run as it is commanded to do by the control system. There is a simple tool for diagnosing the motor itself, but you also need to know just which operation the motor is being asked to perform.
