Probably. Did you smell any peculiar burning smell when the motor wound
down? Sometimes, when a motor burns out, it will burn some insulation
and that odor is a giveaway. But the symptoms sound like it did go out.
Another test, take the mixer off, make sure you are unplugged, and turn
the drive shaft coming out the top of the motor housing. If it resists
hard, or turns clucky, then it is gone.
