If the motor starts quickly & moves it is not the capacitor and likely not the motor.

It is a switch, relay, wire, or bad connection.

Look for loose wires or burned connections.

If the motor is too small or there is a high load, it will run slower up than down.

If slow enough going up, the start capacitor may kick in and blow.

Squeaky wheel might need grease.
