I replaced the capacitor but like before the motor just hums and then trips the circuit breaker. What else could it be. It did this earlier and I cleaned off the contacts on the original capacitor and it worked for a while. After it stopped working again I presumed it was a bad capacitor so I replaced it only to find that there must be another problem. When I turn the shaft by hand there seems to be a drag, it doesn"t turn freely. Is there possibly something connected with the brake that is not releasing??????
