I tried to search for a video or link with instructions but all I could find were idiots sticking things in the fan while it was running to see if it would stop. I can't recommend those methods. While the engine is cold (and off!), the fan should give resistance to turning by hand. You can check it for side to side wobble, there should be very little to none. You may have to remove it to check if the fluid inside has leaked out around the coil in the front, unless you can squeeze between the fan and radiator to look at it.
If you end up taking it off, and are unsure of how old it is, just replace it. It is pretty cheap and will eliminate it as the cause of your temp issues.
