I don't know if the motor is shot or what, but when you turn it on, it hums as though it's going to come on, but nothing blows out and nothing ever kicks on. Trying to decide if it's worth it to try to find someone to fix it (it's a casement window air conditioner, so it's not like we can replace it for $100), or whether we should just look into buying another
The fan motor might be bad or the fan blades are obstructed. the compressor won't turn on if the fan isn't blowing. see if you can move the fan easily manually.
