It should be easy to sp= in. #3 switch the power on and see if the motor sees the proper AC voltage at= the motor. The switch or wiring could be bad. #4 Try to find a label on the motor that can be used to look up the type = of motor it is. What is the voltage and current rating of the motor ? Is there a switc= h on the=20 motor or elsewhere that selects between 120VAC and 240VAC ? That switc= h could be bad. #5 Take some photos of the motor, the caps, the wiring inside the electri= cal box attached to the motor. I am sure someone on the list can tell you= what kind of motor it is and what the wiring should be like. #6 Remove the motor and take it to a motor shop. Most shops will test th= e motor ( for free ) and tell you what must be repaired.
