 They are rated for AC only, so most unlikely to be a brush motor (which
might also be too noisy in this application).  If there is no visible

That would be a centrufugal starting switch throwing out - and when the
motor is switched off,  as it slows down, you might hear the switch go
"Snick! " again as it resets.
