Sounds as if the spindle motor may be shorted internally. Not an uncommon
problem. The short can sometimes be cleared by spraying cleaner/lubricant
into the slits at the bottom of the motor, aimed at the brushes, while
turning the motor, blowing out the debris and excess lube with compressed
air, and repeating til the short is cleared.

I'd bet more on an aging slipping belt or sticky bearings. Clean the
belt in alcohol and see if that helps. If it does, get a new belt.
