If the First Co VMB-HW blower motor hums but does not turn on and there are no burnt smells, the issue could be a failed or weak capacitor. The capacitor helps start the motor, and if it's faulty, the motor may hum but not spin. Another possible cause is a stuck or seized motor bearing, which prevents rotation despite power being applied.
