Fan My outside unit, the fan will not rotate but it will click on and make a humming sound.

Ifs its a small humming sound,then its the contactor pulling in. But if it a loud humming sound then its the compressor kicking in. and the fans not, try to take something long and turn the blades on the fan, if it takes off and run then your capacitor is shot or swollen at the top,which was cause by power surge. Take-off and replace with the same mfd. writings ,on the outside of can. Also check for blown fuses or tripped breaker . the fuses should be in the disconnect box on the wall, or the breaker in the breaker box.. Older house has fuses instead of a breaker box!
