I'm helping a friend fix a fridge remotely. The compressor
tried but won't start.

I suggested he check continuity on the run and start windings, the
starting relay, and the starting cap. Ooops, it has none!

It's been 20 years since I took Machines, but I got an A. [And the
fridge is not much younger...] But I don't recall any capacitor-less
single-phase AC motors with good starting torque.

What gives?
