n the video you can see that he has a Danby residential through the wall A/C unit. You can pick them up for $2oo at WalMart. If the motor is humming and the fan is not turning, the shaft is indeed tight. the screwdriver trick may work. You will probably have to pull the unit out to try it. If you can see the motor, try putting a very small drop of light weight oil on the bearing.
It seems that the fan is indeed spinning. I can feel the airflow and the change in blowing force when I switch between modes.
There must be some other issue. Perhaps the bearing is dying or compressor issue
