Is that dent in the sheet metal capacitor cover the damage?
Beyond that, the markings are usually on the capacitor itself, inside that cover. if you have an electric motor repair shop in the area they can help if you show them the motor info picture.

Because there probably isnt any :) Almost wonder if some of these posts are not AI generated :(

Anyone else seen the ridiculous AI bot posts on FB and such?

They post off the wall pictures and questions, then review the responses to train the algorithm

I try to take questions like this in consideration of the possible age, skill, and knowledge level of a new poster. He/she could be a 12 year old like I started in it, or could be a troll. That usually shows pretty quickly.

yes the bots and AI flooded into FB right after FB started offering monetary payouts under "professional mode". accounts that turn that on are called digital creators

fake content creators steal legitimate accounts' content, then reshare it. They also elicit comments from other fake accounts to boost their fake post's reach, which is called engagement farming.

FB has no checks and balances when it comes to who they let be a digital creator, unlike youtube.
