Is there any way to start a motor with burnt starting windings?maybe a circuit with a capacitor and relay in it?if there is please let me know | ||

I assume this is in reference to the start windings on an old refrigerator you have. You can't work around that. The compressor has failed. | ||

And if its a hermetic compressor you can't even wrap a rope around the pulley and pull ;)
Ultimately I think Travis is correct. The manufacturer would have used the simpler work-around instead of an additional winding if it would work, they don't like adding expense when its not needed! It the starter winding measuring as open? | ||

that old washer motor is likely a "split phase"type with a centrifugal switch to disengage the start winding once motor is at run speed-that switch may need cleaning/repair/adjustment if motor sometimes fails to start. | ||

that switch.. Is it inside the motor somewhere?because you can see the motor shaft at the back? | ||

Might be able to start with a large hammer send power to run windings and just start hitting it with a hammer may work | ||

F12 is the same as r 12 not r134a | ||

Not 'all the ways' As Kb0nes said (reply#2) wrapping a rope around the pulley and pulling WILL start a single-phase induction motor without Start Winding.... But it may not exactly be convenient ;-) You can also get to choose the running direction that way, too.... :-) All best Dave T | ||
