If forcing the motor to turn gets it running again, even poorly, that usually indicates bad motor brushes. It's important to stop using the motor when this happens because it doesn't take long to burn up the commutator and then you've got to replace the motor.
Remove the brush cover and inspect the brushes.

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
