Get a new one.
You'll save in electric alone the first year or so.

Our 15 year old Kenmore DW motor is noisy, sounds like a bad bearing
but
still runs. I checked it out and there is a slight water leak that is
dripping on the motor and it is quite rusty. I can't tell where the
leak
is originating. Is there a seal between the motor and tub? Is this
worth
fixing? I can get a used motor for $40.
