why would it not start to spin?

like in a manual car the motor sometimes doesn't start up so you give it a push start and it sometimes will start running the same thing is happening to my dryer. if I hold down the door switch and press the on button the motor sounds like its struggling then push the drum and it sometimes start spinning and I will spam it real quick and it will work. why is that happening

Motor start capacitor has failed. Replace it.
