My brushes stopped rotating i believe while my partner was using our Hoover steam-vac spinbrush with that extra solution button on handle. I started smelling something burning turned it off. Tried to restart after a few minutes and looked like motor was smoking. If i fix the brushes will that be ok or do i need a new motor?

Yes
is something mechanically jammed preventing the brushes from turning
un-jam it and see if it works

After opening it up I found that one of the motor brushes was worn out. The replacements cost less than $15 bucks. If you are not a handy person I recommend you take it to the repair shop
