If the fan motor is free and you can hear it humming or trying to start. Have someone at the thermostat, give the motor a good spin and while the fan is spinning have your helper slide the t'stat fan switch from auto to on. If the motor starts and runs your problem is the fan capacitor.
Well, although this would work make sure you helper spinning the fan and you have good communication going on and he has is hands out of the way when you witch the fan on. If it suddenly decides to start when he has his fingers in there it's going to ; at the very least ; HURT.
For that reason I don't recommend this one.
