It's a stepper motor, you can't really "try it" like a regular motor. I
would measure the resistance of each coil and compare all of the motors
together. The resistance is fairly close.

What causes these motors not to spin is the magnets inside them
collecting metal frags and locking up. You need to pull them apart, get
all the crud out, put back together. That is often all you need to make
them work.
