I used the small end of a paintbrush to push on it when the lid was open so that I could see what was happening with the drum and it tried to move the drum and made noise at first but eventually it stopped making noise.

It could have failed from some heavy load in the washer. Thus, just replacing the motor might not fix it.I would pull the motor and check to see if it will now run.
