If the electric motor was 110vac and wouldn't run off the wall that was pretty serious.
Only way that could happen is if the AC was missing the lower or upper portion of the signwave or if the frequency was irratic enough but you should still get some motion.
Now if 220vac motors wouldn't run it would be because only the 110vac was there and the other half was missing.
