The Brush Motor is cutting out

When we use our dc40, we press the switch to activate the brush bar motor and it runs only for a max of 30 second and then it stops, it then will not run again even if we switch the switch on on and off, if we leave the vac for a few minutes it will again work, but then again for 30 sec max. there is also a smell, like a bunt out motor. I'm guessing the there is a fault with the brush bar motor, would you agree?
