Have the bearings gone or has it burnt out? If burnt out it would need a new relay or the old one opening up carefully and the contacts cleaning. The pulleys, stators etc can be interchanged so its possible to make a spin motor out of a wash motor and vice versa.

Be sure to fit a new relay, or if needs be, carefully drill out the two small rivets holding the thin top on the relay, remove the plunger and clean up the contacts.
