Snap a photo of the tag on the motor. I expect the answer is going to be no. Single phase motors on compressors are really hard to start.

Sure. VOM is a Volt Ohm Meter. It will test restance (ohms) with a very low voltage signal. Perfectly OK for testing electronic circuits but can be fooled in "POWER" circuits. An old Simpson analog meter can be better than a nice digital Fluke for some problems. Residual voltage across a...

I would MEG the contactor and not trust a standard VOM for this one. The other thing I would do is flip the breaker open and close 15-20 times and see if things change.

If you have voltage at the lugs with the breaker off it is likely the contacts are fused.
