Some one suggested it might be the circuitry and wiring.
I have original 1927 wiring in my house. Is it any way I can check if my

handle the load? I have a multimeter.


Using your multimeter, observe line voltage at the motor when it is
loaded. If the voltage dips, your wiring isn't up to the load --
quite likely with 1927 wiring.

Please tell me exactly how to do it. I am an electrically illiterate person

Make sure that the motor is wired for 110 volts and not the higher one.
