Won't turn over?

As in the motor is physically frozen?


Did you be sure to re-connect the carbon brushes at their correct terminals? 


What about all that wiring? why is it all black? should their not be a neutral white wire?

to supersweeper:
Nope all black wires and I did put the carbon brush back and no the motor will turn just not when I plug it in .
All black wires in that thing strange for me to . When I spin the motor by hand it turns freely no noise ect but when I plug the dang thing in no go wont turn.
Brush terminals aah dang it I knew I forgot some thing .....
