You can measure the resistance of the motor coils to discount theose being burnt out. It takes a few seconds for a multimeter to stabilise at a reading
The 3 pins Common, Start and Run.
S-R (6K ohm? ) highest reading through both coils.
C-S (4K) resistance of Starting windings
C-R (2K) resistance of Run windings
Any pin to Earth should be open.They're reading much lower - 22/45Ohms. I Guess this means the motor's screwed?
No, thats probably OK if you have 22, 45, 67
My mistake adding KOhms as that would be very high for it. It's a while since I measured ones on our dehumidifier and much longer back for the fridge or works aircon.

No
Yes, seems to be ok
The later I think, there was a slight hum between it trying to kick in and the 2nd click (overload?) but nothing that sounded like the motor running...
Edit: no signs of burning or arcing on the relay either
