I have a mm as I've worked electrical all of my life. I also have a clamp on amp meter so the current should be high if friction is the cause. So...the bearings are not sealed huh? The only thing is that I would think the motor would hum in high speed mode if it was friction induced? But what do I know.... Thanks for the tip and I'll test with a little oil first to see f it helps and then I'll use the correct stuff if needed.
BTW, if it's the cap, do they use one cap for each speed or just a starting cap? Again, if it was a single starting cap I would assume that no speeds would work well. Maybe it's the switch....I'll check things out and get back with you guys and let you all know my findings.
