Re: Hotpoint WM21 help

Took the drive belt off to see if motor worked ok free, without throwing the drum around, and it still only runs slow. There is also a clicky squeak coming from the motor, as if the bearings have gone, but spinning the motor by hand (power off!!) it feels smooth, there is no front / back play in the armature either. Question, if the motor has gone south, is it worth buying a new one, or binning the machine and buying another?? ❓
