lemonlime If the fan motor will not turn more than 2 inches it is a good possibility the motor is bad. Remove and take to electric motor shop for testing or replace. When buying a new motor get a new matching capacitor for it and replace both. If you have a volt meter you can check to make sure 220/240 volts is supplying the motor when the unit is supposed to be running as a test.
