be aware that not repairing this asap that you are causing yourself more problems First I would change out the fan capacitor and see if this could be the problem. Secondly if the capacitor isn,t the problem change out the motor . By continuing to allow the system to cycle like this the compressor will take a dive on you costing more . Good Luck
sounds like the compressor is having trouble starting. this could be the start components or the compressor itself. if the fan is running when you hear the "kicking in" noise it is you compressor, they are generally PSC motors, that require a capacitor to start, the capacitor could be bad, or the compressor may need a start kit added to it, they are available to the public at most appliance parts houses, you will need the model and serial number of the unit to select the proper one.
I have run into this with the LG brand systems. try shutting power off to the outdoor unit to reset all units. If problem persists, it could have to do with a charge level of refrigerant (freon) or possibly a failed control board.
If the compressor never kicks in, I would check the start capacitor, thermostat and the compressor windings. Most times the start capacitor is defective. Some window air conditioners the fan will run while the compressor stop through the thermostat switch. If the thermostat switch is bad every thing runs except the compressor. Let me know, Thanks, Sea Breeze
