Bearings are bad and require too much torque to get turning.

The thing is, she said she replaced the motor and the new one is doing
it too, even with the belt not attached. Parts list for that model
shows no separate capacitor or starting relay.

Either the new motor is dead in the same way as the old one, which
while not impossible is pushing coincidence, or there's a problem with
a part external to the motor, which likely would be the switch or
wiring.
