Single phase motor problems can be down to;I bet @kiwigtx will know
* bad capacitor - they can still pack a punch even if faulty - beware
* dirty or burnt start switch
* bad wiring - burnt cables
* tight bearings
* burnt or faulty windings in motor.
Three phase motors can be a problem if the windings are damaged. There are no capacitors in a 3-phase motor.
