[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 548781, member: 28452"] I might be being thick but I can't see any centrifugal switch. It looks to me like the non-drive end of the rotor has a brake mechanism. The motor is a capacitor run type, i.e. capacitor always in circuit When it doesn't start does it make a humming noise ? If NO look for a broken connection or dodgy control switch. (Very often the flex cores break internally close to where they enter the switch housing.) If YES it could be the capacitor as you suspect, or sticking brake, or stiff bearings. [/QUOTE]
