Samsung Ecobubble 8kg washing machine Motor issues, 3E error?

Hi

My Samsung washing machine started stopping recently during washes, it was as if the motor tried to spin but didnt have the power. I only once got the 3E error which relates to the motor, but mostly it just tries and only occasionally manages to spin, and can take hours to finish a cycle

I've put a couple of photos and a video in here

Does anyone know if this is an easy or cheap fix? Its an old machine, and if its going to cost me more than £100 I would just get a new machine, probably an integrated one

Any advice would be great thanks

    Unless you can do it yourself any fix will probably be more than £100.
