Yes anyone with the tools can test a motor. I will assume you do not have
the tools necessary.
Fractional hp motors are usually go, no go.
I will bet that LL did not make the motor. Remove the motor and probably
the fan blade from the housing and look at the specs of the motor. Match the
rpm closely. The HP rating can be a little higher and not create any
problems. Example replace a 1/6 hp motor with a 1/3 hp.
