Sorry O D, I glossed over a number of things which were already ruled
out in my mind. I read the original poster's message to mean that
power was getting through the switch but the motor was still not
turning. Looking at it again, I see how his words leave room for only
checking the input side of the switch. Perhaps I assumed too much and
the original poster didn't think to make sure that power was getting
through the switch. Good catch. I also thought about the starting
cap. If it were open (or not switched in), then the motor would hum
and vibrate but not start. The original poster said it was making no
sound. There's not much more than the windings to go bad here - it's a
pretty simple setup.

Would seem to me that power is not getting thru the switch for some
reason, That is my opinion without and engineering knowledge.
