fan in a lennox pulse furnace wont kick on?

We have a lennox pulse furnace in our house and it has been getting really hot in the house. We finally found out the fan wasnt kicking on. When power is fed to the furnace there is a hum from the the fan area, I cant tell if its the motor or the pack mounted on the housing of the squirel cage. I am a DIY'er so I would like to try and fix it myself before I call an HVAC person.

The AC turns on fine but the fan does not.
