You are supposed to have continuity through certain parts of the bridge rec.
The easiest way to test a bridge rectifier is close the contacts check for AC voltage going in (makes sure the switch is good) and check for DC volts on the output side. If the motor has DC potential and not turning then the brushes or motor are bad.
I use a 30 amp dedicated welder circuit and 14 gauge extension cord.
I don't use a gfi.
