Yes they fail, but most from simply being poor designs, the capacitor value going low is the most common killer, but a high capacitor will also kill the motor as well, but they run for a long time, with much higher voltages across the capacitor that self heals it faster. Re:
Understanding the reasons behind electric motor smoking can help prevent serious damage and potential safety hazards. Overheating, electrical faults (such as short circuits and overloads), and mechanical issues (like bearing problems or misalignment) can cause electric motors to smoke.
If you're concerned about lung damage, the smoke that comes from the flux every time you solder something is probably what you should focus your attention on. If it was a "wet" capacitor with a gel / liquid electrolyte, that was likely either ethylene glycol (aka "anti-freeze") or boric acid (think Borax laundry soap).
If the switch fails open, the motor won't start, the run winding will overheat, turns will short together and smoke will ensue. Most small motors also have a thermal overload protection device that will open and cut power and smoke. So will it smoke? There's always potential for smoke. Absolutely. Magic smoke.
One capacitor won't do anything to your lungs/respiratory system...Like literally nothing. But if you blow up a cap due to overvoltage/reverse polarity (electrolytic)...hot material can fly at you so don't do that.
Motor smoking can have several adverse effects. It not only indicates an underlying issue but can also result in severe damage to the motor and its surrounding components. Moreover, smoking motors pose a fire hazard and can lead to disruptions in operations, costly repairs, or even replacement of equipment.
If it was a solid capacitor, the equivalent of an electrolyte was another film of manganese dioxide (MnO2). Wet caps usually pop, but not smoke. Given the puff of smoke, …
