Yes, a malfunctioning capacitor can cause the AC fan to not work. Capacitors are responsible for providing a jolt of electricity to start the fan motor, so if the capacitor is faulty, it can prevent the fan from operating properly. It's recommended to have a professional HVAC technician inspect and replace the capacitor if needed.
A capacitor is used in ceiling fans to help control the speed of the fan. By storing and releasing electrical energy, the capacitor can help create different levels of electrical current flow, which ultimately affects the fan's speed.
With the starting winding disconneted the motor will start up in whichever direction it is spun. To make the starting winding operate the other way, it needs an inductor in series insead of a capacitor. Details depend on the motor, but the reactance of the inductor should match that of the capacitor.
There are many different 'run' capacitors on motors. It depends on the motor make and use. You need to consult your manual or local electric motor shop.See related links below for good information on how capacitors effect motor starting.
A run capacitor in an electric motor helps to maintain a consistent voltage supply, which enables the motor to run smoothly and efficiently. It provides a phase-shifted current to create a magnetic field that keeps the motor running consistently.

Depends on the ratings(volts, amps, etc.) Definitely not an AC motor.
If you mean run capacitor, as in the run capacitor for an AC motor, it is usually a round or oval cylinder.
The capacitor is used to create a second phase from the single phase power source and it is the interaction between these two phases that causes the motor to turn.
Some AC motors are designed to start running as soon as electricity is provided. Other AC motors are designed for a specific purpose and do not start on AC current. They will RUN on AC, but require a DC current to start. Here's where the capacitor comes in. It stores DC power that, when released, starts the motor turning. At this point, AC current will nicely run the motor.
bad motor or capacitor
The easiest way would be to convert the AC power to DC by using a rectifier diode and a filter capacitor. In that way you can now run your DC motor on DC.
The direction of a singular phase induction ac motor can be reversed by switching the capacitor in relation with the motor windings. When started in the reverse direction, the motor will maintain the same torque level that it had in the forward direction.

A run capacitor and a starter capacitor are not the same thing. A run capacitor is energized the entire time the motor is running, and a start capacitor is not. A run capacitor is one that changes the current on the windings of a single phase AC induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field to energize a second-phase winding. A start capacitor increases starting torque, allowing a motor to be turned on rapidly. It stays in the circuit only long enough to bring the motor to 3/4 of full speed. Some motors then continue to run with a run capacitor.
Two reasons could be that the motor was wired incorrectly or the load that the motor is driving is too heavy for the HP of the motor.
A capacitor conducts AC but do not conduct DC because it is meant to store charge.
