Just to be sure that the meter is OK.

When checking voltage the scale used should always be higher than the expected voltage so use the 250 volt AC scale.


Yes, when I shorted the meter leads together it went to zero ohms, so the meter seems to be working. I went to the parts store and when I tested the WR60X10141 fan (using RX1K setting), the meter didn't budge (didn't go near the zero). So I came back home without buying it.

1. The fan looked brand new so I was wondering maybe it's not supposed to go to zero or that I'm doing something wrong?

2. Is there a website that can tell me what readings I'm supposed to get for my refrigerator? (like the voltage AC/DC, ohms etc...)

If you get 120 volts AC going to the fan and it does not turn then it is toast.
