Taking the motor off to check the brushes should be straightforward

Shouldn't be a problem the motor normally has pivot mount that
enables the belt to be tensioned correctly, just slacken that off and
the belt will drop off/on....

I hadn't thought of cpc as a source of parts, I'll take a closer look.

They have a huge range of white goods spares but unless it has
changed an awful lot of them are not in the catalogue or online. You
have to ring 'em up with make/model etc.
