How can I fix my Hoover Steam Vac 1200 plus?

I have a Hoover Steam Vac F 5876-900. When I turn it on, it makes a loud noise, and smells of burning. There is no suction, but the brushes go around slightly still. Any suggestions on how to fix it, and how easy that fix would be to do.

Bad motor, probably a bearing failure. Complete disassembly is required. We normally charge $120 to 150 for that repair. If it is fairly new, and still in good shape besides the motor, it may be worth having repaired.
