AC motor or capacitors?

I had made a post about my air conditioning making a humming noise a couple months back but I never got back to it because I was in a bad car head on accidentin I85 here in SC. Just able to get back to it I have an update, It is the low and high windings binding up, I bought new capacitors and my luck could not be that simple. It sure sounded like a capacitor hum and would briefly start and run with a good spin by hand until it got hot, making me think bearing.

Sorry to hear about your accident and hope you made a full recovery. The constant "PITA" from an RV sort of grows on you. If all of a sudden it stopped you might miss it!

I too hope you have had a full recovery or are on your way.
