Answer:

I presume the motor is an AC motor. It almost certainly uses a start capacitor to provide the push you are giving it with your finger. The capacitor itself may be bad, but it is even more common to have a bad start contact in the control circuit. The capacitor is only connected long enough to get the rotation going. The first source should help.
