I have an antique table fan. When power is swtiched on the motor produces a humming sound. The propeller does not turn even after giving a spin in the clockwise direction. A great force is holding on to the rotor.
However, when fan is turned in the anti clock wise direction maually it starts to spin with a slow speed.
I have changed a new capacitor but the problem persists.
What could be the issue?
Any help and pointers appreciated.
Thank you
