Some DMMs don't work well trying to measure the resistance of an inductive load like a motor winding. If you don't have another meter, you could try putting 100 ohm resistor in series with the meter and then subtracting it from the readings if they then settle down OK.
Edit- just seen the AVO7! You'll only need the D cell for lowish resistance readings, the hard to get 15V one is used for the highest resistance range only.
Take care not to connect yourself across the motor winding when connecting or disconnecting the old meter, it can generate a nasty voltage spike as it is disconnected! (Same principle is used in a car ignition coil)
