I'd guess if you measured the resistance through it with an ohm meter you could tell if the coil was open or not. That's really all you need to know. If it measures some low resistance, on the order of say 20-40 ohms I would say it is fine (that would be about 350-700 watts which is what I think most of them are rated for). If it is open then you will measure infinite resistance and will know it is shot.
