Some motors have a run capacitor. A bad run cap might give

If it were mine, I'd check the run cap before I paint
brushed a bunch of oil onto the fan, like the other poster
suggested. I doubt that oiling the fan will help much.


i considered all the oiling remarks a joke. it turns quite freely and
without noise.
