The belt was already toast when I opened it up. I can spin the motor and it seems to move freely. I feel like it has something to do with the electrical charge spinning the motor (like it's not getting juice). I did see some white flashes coming from inside (which led me to the copper (or is it brass) spindle?
As you can see, I have no idea what I am talking about. Sure, I'll probably end up starting a fire -- is it worth dying over $10? Probably not.
