If your machine is not jammed by food, the most likely cause of your problem is the food processor’s capacitor. The capacitor provides power to the motor for it to start spinning.
One sign of a bad capacitor is, as you mentioned, the motor making a humming noise. Another sign would be if the drive shaft spins easily by hand but the motor stalls when turned on.
