fuse blows when machine goes into full, final spin 1600rpm?

Started sounding funny a few days ago, yesterday there was a smell of something burning and the fuse was blown. checked it out and done a small load at 1400 rpm, worked fine but when tried to spin on 1600 the fuse blew again.

Forgot to mention, when I took it appart to check the belt and drum. noticed a clicking while drum was roatating to one side and not the other. The drum moves freely in both directions and the belt was fine. Will check out the motor today, it's a Beko WMA 667 W. thanks for any help.
