Title of Question: compressor hums but will not come on

 

Name: Gary    City: St. Louis

Question: My compressor hums and my fan will only come on when I manually spin it w/ screwdriver. I replaced the fuses and verified the thermostat is not faulty. What does the problem sound like and is it time to call an expert. Thank you
