Does it start and run with the fan set to on?
Yes
No ,motor not over heating at all
If the motor runs with a push, it is being powered. Turn off power to unit, and check electrical connections to motor and capacitor. If good, capacitor check and/or replacement would be the most economical next step.
Post of the capacitor is rusted due to water from the ac leaking on it,could this be the problem ?
Definitely. Clean up connection as much as possible, see if blower will start on its own.
Thank you, I will give it a try.
