if the compressor is starting.... Then the capacitor is working. So I would think it's the fan motor.

OP, unit more than likely has a dual run capacitor. One side runs the fan and one the compressor. Sounds as if you have a bad bearing in the condenser fan motor as well.

I just changed out a condenser fan motor and capacitor over the weekend on my friends unit. Cost me $75 in parts total.
