As of today the fan isn't starting and the external fan draw isn't spinning the blades any more. Bushings are at least part of that.
We've got a replacement cap to try anyway but the motor won't be in until Thur.

Gotta work with what we got. It's enough to stave off thermal locking.
The house has 2 units and we're setting that stat higher and supplementing with fans.
- mindslight 1y agooh, I think I understand better now - the job of the fan on top blowing upwards was to keep the unit's fan spinning or otherwise help it start moving.
