Hopper Examination: Look for cracks or corrosion, especially near connections.

Gasket Inspection: Check for damage on gaskets and O-rings, replacing them if needed.

Switch and Rotor Check: Test the centrifugal switch’s movement and inspect the rotor for wear.

Electrical Testing: Use a multimeter to test the capacitor, windings, and switches. For the capacitor, observe the meter as it charges and discharges. Check stator windings for continuity and inspect the start switch for open circuits.
