Heat Pump Not Running

[wc770]

Hello. Thanks in advance for any insight / help. My Carrier 3.0 unit is not coming on. Getting a loud hum when it is powered on. Replaced the capacitor and it tried to start. Fan turned very slowly for a couple of revolutions then stopped.

I tried to turn the fan blade by hand to get it going but it was very stiff and would not turn. However, when the power is off, the fan blade spins quite freely. Possibly a bad motor? What else might cause such?

Thanks

Bill

Well, I replaced the fan motor and it's up and running. So, I guess that was it.
