    It could be a number of things: the belt, the motor brushes, faulty spin control unit. You'll be able to tell quite easily if it is the machine's belt by removing back panel and simply looking if it has come loose. But because you say it is only struggling to turn one way it could be a little more complicated and really will require a professional looking at it.
