drum won't spin without a push?

Hotpoint CDT00, I have had the top and side off. the motor stalls when you press the start button, if I spin the drum a little by hand then the motor seems to cope and spins away. The drum does not seem hard to turn by hand. any ideas ? just feels like after just over a year the motor isn't strong enough to get going although fine once it is running.

Faulty motor start capacitor. It gives the motor a liitle push to get it going. check out www.2ndwave.co.uk/manual/
