It may be worth removing the belt from the motor :
If an air deflector is fitted over the fan remove it by loosening

The start cap on mine was meant to be under the metalwork that holds the single

Tony's suggestion is the best at this point - look for issues with the
motor start and/or run caps. A shorted (or open..) cap can certainly cause
