Somebody asked about the value of part. If it is a resistor, you can tell by the color of the bands. I can't tell what the inner 2 bands are from the photo due to the crispiness. Maybe somebody who has cracked a motor open can post what the band colors are. Here is a link about how to decode the color bands to a value.

I would expect there may be an equivalent code for inductors?

Can someone provide the resistor value? I'm experiencing the same issue
