2 Capacitor induction motor Humming troubleshooting


I have a single phase cutting SAW , 3 years old , yesterday i was cutting thick material it stalled as usually happens , but when i turn it off and then On again now it doesn't rotate , it just makes a humming noise .


motor type :


1-AC single phase 220v 2KW motor .


2-it has 6 wires coming out of the motor 2 red 2 black and 2 green wires .


3-Capacitors 200uF 250v and 35v 400v .


Full Circuit diagram


steps that i have done :


1- tested capacitors using FLuke , 200uF measures 220uF , and 35uF measures 22uF.


2- tried rotating motor by hand , i runs smoothly and freely ( no bearing problems and such)



3- i disassembled the motor , it is surprisingly very clean from inside , the centrifugal clutch seems OK , the contacts are clean , i wiped them and re-oiled them and continuity test seem OK ( the 2 green wires ) .


Question : and what could be the problem ? is it a shorted winding and how to know exactly


thanks in advance ...


EDIT :


As advised by the commenter , i made some tests using an LCR meter ( with 100hz lowest frequency) it appears that the stator coil from black wire 1 to black wire 2 has 30mH inductance . BUT from Red to red which is supposed to be the main Coil there is very high inductance (3000 Henry) and resistance is in the Mega Ohm range. I donot know if this is an indicator of short coil or open coil maybe the connecting wire is broken ?? does anyone has know how to fix this ?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
