If I touch the fan with my finger, the fan will spin and continue to spin until the compressor turns off. But the fan will not regularly turn on when the compressor turns on. What do I need to replace in order for the fan to turn on the compressor comes on?

I would check that the motor is getting 120 volts first just to be sure that a bad connection etc. is not lowering the voltage to it. If the voltage is OK then I would replace the fan.
