It's tough to be 100% sure being I can't see the unit, but may times this problem persists due to a bad motor Capacitor, but the Reset itself could be defective as well.

I've attached a document on how to test your Capacitors. If they're not defective then you may want to have an electrician diagnose the motor and all electrical components.

Thank you!
