i am a AC mechanic if the compressor draws lots of current and does not start I would check for current draw on the start windings, if they are drawing current they are not open, the compressor will probably have a thermal overload in it if the compressor is too hot too hold your hand on the thermal overload could be open.Wait for the compressor too cool down could take 1 hour. I would then try a hard start kit before i replaced the compressor
