I haven't been watching this - but is there a start capacitor and a run ? If so - might be a dry cap - replace them with correct values and it might run. A start cap goes in series with the start winding and for ac, effectively drops the 'ac resistance' of the winding allowing more current to flow.

If there's a separate (low-rated) fuse on the input to the control logic, it wouldn't blow the (larger) fuses you're seeing go out. If there ISN'T a separate fuse there, the control logic's power inlet could be a suspect. That's why it's worth checking to see if there is a separate fuse.
