Why does an old electric motor start turning in the opposite direction?

It sounds like the starting capacitor is about to give up.

What is the role of split rings in electric motors?
Split rings keep the current flowing in the same direction or the motor turning in the same direction when using alternating current which reverses direction in its cycle..
Who is discovered motor?
As a motor refers to the electric verison (petrol is an engine) the first commutator-type direct current electric motor capable of turning machinery was invented by the British scientist William Sturgeon in 1832
Will running a motor backwards generate power?
No. Motors can be run in either direction, clockwise or counter clockwise. However, mechanically spinning an electric motor will generate electric power.
What wll happen if the starting winding in a split pase motor fail to energize?
The motor would not start rotating. The motor will just hum and the rotor will be stationary. If you can get the rotor to start turning the motor will still run on its run winding.I have a cement mixer that has a motor with a burnt out start winding. All I have to do is turn the barrel and the motor will start turning over. Without the start winding you have a choice of which way the motor will turn. If I turn the mixer barrel the opposite direction, the barrel will turn that way until I turn the unit off.
What are similarities and dissimilarities between a motor and an electric generator?
An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. While an electrical generator does the opposite.

What is the opposite of a generator?
electric motor
How do appliances work if AC reverses direction?
AC current alternates polarity back-and-forth continually, by definition. Therefore, it is not possible to reverse AC direction. It is DC current that is directional such that when it's polarity is reversed the motor responds by turning in the opposite direction.
Which device converts mechanical energy to electrical energy?
An electric generator and an electric motor does the opposite!
How do you build a model of a hydroelectric power plant?
Insert a simple electric motor with fan on it into the pipe and let the water current move fan in opposite direction, that will generate electricity!
What is the standard direction of rotation of electric motor?
standard direction of rotation of an induction motor is counterclockwise when looking from the front end i.e. non-driving end of the motor.
Can you change the direction of a 110v electric motor?
The answer to that question is entirely dependent on the motor. Many motors have an access plate where the power feeds into the motor. Removing that plate often reveals a wiring diagram that shows how to change the wiring to reverse the motor direction. But most AC electric motors do not provide the option of reversing direction.

What is done to revers direction of a three phase electric motor?
To reverse direction, swap any two hot wires.

Which phase is the reverse phase?
Connecting Phase A, B and C to the motor leads will make a 3 phase motor run in one direction while interchanging any two will make the motor rotate in the opposite direction.
