I've had the 31-695 sander for about 2 years and have barely used it. I used it for about a minute the other day and turned it off. When I turned it back on there was a humming sound but the motor wouldn't run
Did you ever get your sander to work? I have the same sander and mine is doing the same thing. I replaced the motor start capacitor and it did not fix it. If you turn the switch on and give the belt a big push does it start?? Watch your hand does not get sanded.

It sounds like the motor start capacitor is shot.
