Your washing machine does not spin the drum, only the paddles. It makes a noise as if the motor is exerting force, but it does not turn. You have tried it in spin mode and it spins slower and is difficult to start. You have also tried the motor without the belt and it works correctly. The belt is not tight and yuo have disassembled the plastic gears and the spring, whic hare in good condition. You have noticed that the motor gets quite hot and emits a smell of a hot motor. You would like to know if this could be related to the capacitor or something else. Additionally, when you turn the drum by hand to exclude the bearings, it is a bit heavy, but you are not sure if this is normal. There are no strange noises, only the motor trying to move the drum. To check if the steel cable of the drive motor is in good condition, you can ask someone else to spin the spin drum clockwise while you pull the cable. You can also turn the pulley of the transmission housing to the left according to the rear view of the washing machine.
