Oh and it's a manual heating system.

your description of the motors reaction to being powered up means it is a good motor. If the rotation was sluggish and did not have good torque this would indicate the motor is bad.

the resistors are about 20-25.oo .. I got them at autozone. lifetime warrantee.
