My sense is the beerrings in the fan got worse and worse, until
the friction was greater than the motor's power.

In either case (if the chicken laid the egg, or the egg hatched
the chicken) replace the capacitor. They are cheaper than a house
call. Quit straining over pennies, and think for the long term.

Okay, so it sounds like replacing the capacitor is a good idea,
but I'm
still curious if the tech person was correct in stating that
the
capacitor has endured undue stress while the blower motor wore
out and
became progressively more difficult to turn until it (the
blower motor)
finally crapped out. Any more opinions? Thanks!
