Not sure if anyone suggested this,
but you may be able to stick a long screwdriver past the grate and use it to push the fan blades. This may get the unit to start. If so, it's likely the start capacitor needs replacement.

We don’t. Much of my wife’s family is awaiting COVID-19 tests.

May just be a blown capacitor. Is the breaker tripping for the unit?

Also check breakers. If there is any humming, probably a capacitor.

Be careful with capacitors too bec they carry a big punch if not discharged
