How do I check to see if the motor is bad on my ceiling fan?
Chain broke off in switch on ceiling fan. Fan will not work. Replaced switch for fan still doesn't work. Lights work but fan will not work. Blades turn freely by Hand. Motor doesn't hum or make any sound. Fan was working fine till chain on switch broke.

You bought the wrong switch. Just because it looks the same on the outside doesn't mean it's the same on the inside(switch). I don't know if you have a bad motor but it is a cheap low-end fan only made for Home Depot!
