Locate the motor in the freezer and try spinning the blade by hand... It may just be a little rusty from sitting idle... Otherwise a new motor can be obtained from APPros but you'll need the complete model number to identify the replacement...

It's unpredictable. It could run with an excessive noise for a years or it could die pretty soon.
