    If there is a problem in the winding's it is usually not intermittent. I would double check your motor connections and see what you have there if problems develop.

    Beat me too it, Peter. I was going to say that if you put Hummus in the motor, it's not likely to start.

    So far so good, no more humming after all connections tightened and lots of use. Thanks for all the help.
