Answer 1

Could be a faulty motor or the run capacitor.

There is no substitute for proper service diagnosis but if I were to guess I would try the capacitor first as they are fairly cheap.

You could take yours to an appliance shop to have it checked.

Most A/C units use a duel capacitor, one side for the compressor and one side for the fan.
