    It could be the motor or the capacitor. I would go with cap first. When the motor hums, see if you can get it to rotate by pushing the cage with a paint stirrer or other small piece of wood-Do not put your hand inside. If the motor starts, it is most likely a capacitor. Replace it with one having the same ratings.
