I know the answer!
Attached to the motor is a capacitor (round tube shaped bit with wires attached).This starts the motor up and when they fail stop the motor and buzz.as you have found by pushing the drum round makes everything work until it trys to reverse.looking from the front,take the right side panel off to gain access to capacitor
