Why can it not be repaired? Very few electric motors cannot be
repaired and unless the windings are burnt, the repair is both

drive end as well as the mount.

A lot of shaded pole motors are tack welded or pressed, ie, you can't
unscrew them to access the bearings and whatnot. Same thing with washing
machine/dryer motors, although some of those you can rebuild due to their
size (except for the epoxied ones, those are disposable).
