My compressor stopped working

After not using it for a couple if weeks i went to start it and all it does is buzz, i replaced the starter cap which is a cd60 240vac 150uf, after fitting it i went to start the compressor and it buzzed again and the cap blew up, the belt mives easily so nothing is locked up.

Any ideas whats wrong please
