Touched phase wires or dead shorted motor widlndings inside?

• With the motor disconnected it spins smoothly. doing the hand tests of shorting phases together it seems to behave as expected.

except perhaps right at the motor I don’t think the phase wires could have touched anywhere.
but I’m going to go ahead and open the motor up next to see if I can see a cause.
