Dual Run Capacitor
The capacitor provides the phase-shifted current required to create a rotating magnetic field in the motor windings. Over time, heat and electrical surges cause the internal electrolyte to degrade, resulting in a loss of capacitance. Without this 'kick,' the motor cannot start and will sit stationary while drawing high current and generating excessive heat.

Condenser Fan Motor
If the motor is receiving power but fails to spin and the capacitor is functional, the internal start windings are likely open or the bearings have reached their friction limit. Thermal fatigue from repeatedly trying to start with a bad capacitor can permanently damage the motor's internal insulation, leading to a total failure of the induction mechanism.

AC Contactor
The contactor acts as the primary relay for the high-voltage circuit. Pitted or carbon-fouled contact points can cause a high-resistance connection or a complete open circuit, preventing current from reaching the fan motor even when the thermostat calls for cooling.
