have you taken the front housing off to see if the impeller spins freely?

the start capacitor could possibly be toasted.. .take it out of the little cover on the side and see if it looks ok.

ok, i will take a look, i guess it will show signs of over heating .(brown or black marks on the capacitor)

yes. as a matter of fact, I happened to get a used pan world hd100 a couple of years ago that had the same problem. Upon inspection, the cap had actually exploded sometime and there was a hardened pool of aluminum in there.
Just got a replacement cap from champion supply and all was well.
