  1. I bought a used craftsman 6" jointer. Ran fine for a few times but this past week I ran one board through it fine and turned it off for a minute. When I tried to turn it on again, the motor hums but does not spin. The motor and the blade assembly spin freely by hand. I took the motor off the jointer and tried it and it started up fine. I put it back on the jointer and again, it hums but does not spin. Even if I give it a spin by hand it won't kick on. I've read that single phase motors have a capacitor on the motor that can go bad and cause this behavior. Everything I read seemed to say the capacitor would be under a cover on the outside of the motor but there is nothing on the outside of this motor. Pictures of the motor attached along with the switch and relay. Craftsman 6" jointer 113.232210 Any ideas would be appreciated. Michael
