Goodman A/C compressor fan problem?

My goodman ck36-18 compressor stopped cooling(compressor buzzes for a couple of seconds, fan motor never kicks on, only the capacitor hums). If I start the fan by hand then it runs fine but the compressor never kicks on. Any help would be appreciated.

    I'd replace the capacitor.Its probably a multi terminal start run type after makeing sure the relay doesn't have burned contacts.Reason is its the cheapest part there and besides the relay(acctuator) is the only thing not requireing a license to change.If it doesn't help then call a repair person since you could have an open winding in your compressor(yuck)
