Default motor short ?

I have been looking at a centrifuge, and I have a manual.
The manual shows another controller, but the motor windings are
supposed to be 4 something ohms which seems reasonable.
The unit I have has a different controller and the motor reads about .7
ohms on any leg. There are 3 WYE legs. Seems like the wrong condition,
but I can't figure how a short would appear with equal ohms.
I'm now tring to unpack the motor to see if I can detect anything.
