Does it make any noise at all when you try to start it? The unit does have a thermal fuse on it, that can keep it from running, so that's a possibilty.

If the hum is coming from the motor have him check to see if something may be stuck in the blower, which is attached to the motor. If it's the motor humming and not starting, that isn't a good sign if nothing is stuck in the blower.
