I was going to buy a new one, but decided to try and fix it. I just had to replace a $7 capacitor, and it worked! I might still replace it anyway (maybe next year), since I hate the hum of AC fans.

    I would assume there’s some limiter because pumping line voltage through the motor would result in a hyperdrive.
