The real determining factor is how old is it? If it is from the 1970s or 1980s or before, it may well be worth taking apart and fixing. The made motors with quality in mind. If is is Chinese made modern motor, don't bother to try, just replace it.
We used to use a local motor rewind and rebuild service. It is cool how big and varied the old American made quality motors were. Then the cheap crap took over, and it is made of such crappy internals it is not worth fixing.
