Small chance it's a bad run capacitor. But, it's also very likely
to be a bad motor. Call a furnace repair company before you get
any colder.

My furnace fires up but the blower has stopped coming on (it's
a Bryant
330AAV upflow). I can barely spin the squirrel cage with my
hand, and
it will not spin on it's own after I pull my hand out. It
makes a low
hmmm sound, but just doesn't start turning, then the gas shuts
off.
I'm assuming I need a repair person to replace the blower, but
I'd
appreciate any comments if there are other things I should
consider.
Please give any advice on what else to check. Thanks, Mike
