A single speed permanent split capacitor AC induction motor has two separate pairs of series wound stator windings arranged at right angles to each other around the central rotor. The main run winding is connected directly to the AC power source while the secondary start winding is connected to the same source with a capacitor in series with it. The capacitor causes an electrical phase shift to the power in the start winding relative to the run winding, to produce a rotating magnetic field around the rotor which can start it turning. Since the capacitor remains in the circuit while the motor is running it's called a permanent split capacitor design.
by changing the polarity of capacitor of single phase ceiling fan can we change the direction of rotation from anticlockwise to clockwise
An oil filled capacitor is used in (PSC) motor because the capacitor is in the circuit the whole time the machine is running. The capacitor is oil filled to cool it due to being in circuit the whole time
It sounds like the starting capacitor is about to give up.
This is a piece of machinery similar to a capacitor-start motor and operates on an LC circuit. One of the main differences, however between the two is that there is no centrifugal switch and instead of being initiated by an inital start winding montion, the permanent-split capacity motor is permanantly connected to the power source.
Most likely, yes. The ultimate test is if it can be pushed in either direction and it stays running in that direction.
A device called a motor capacitor is used to change the rotation direction of a motor in a washing machine. By changing the connection of the capacitor, the motor's direction can be reversed to rotate in the opposite direction.

The direction of a singular phase induction ac motor can be reversed by switching the capacitor in relation with the motor windings. When started in the reverse direction, the motor will maintain the same torque level that it had in the forward direction.
Very often a capacitor IS used in a single-phase motor. It provides a phase-shifted current to the starting winding to ensure that the motor runs in the right direction, e.g. clockwise if that is the requirement.
With the starting winding disconneted the motor will start up in whichever direction it is spun. To make the starting winding operate the other way, it needs an inductor in series insead of a capacitor. Details depend on the motor, but the reactance of the inductor should match that of the capacitor.
No. You won't be able to start the motor without the capacitor.

You can not by-pass the capacitor in an electric motor. Most are capacitor-start motors which require the capacitor to be operational in order to start. If the capacitor is not working then it will need to be replaced.
A capacitor add torque to an electric motor that is designed to use them, they are called PSC or permanent split capacitor type motors. the capacitors terminals go to the Run and Start windings.
