First thing would be to disconnect the motor and use an ohm meter to check the resistance of each wire to the case. It might be a bad winding but it could be something simpler like a stray strand of wire touching somewhere inside that you could correct. Could also be a bad capacitor that leaks to the case. Do the same test with the drum switch, sometimes the wires touch the inside of the cover and cause a short. The readings should be at least 500k ohms or higher (500,000 ohms)
Be safe, do all testing with power off and plug pulled
