The new ones are pretty simple, just three or four bolts and the belt, then the wiring harness. Some of the older ones are hardwired so you would have to splice in the new motor. Make sure whatever killed the old motor is taken care of before you ruin a new one! Usually it's unbalanced loads which you can only be careful when loading the machine.

Before you splash out on a new motor check the fault is not just worn brushes as these are very inexpensive and easy to replace with the motor in-situ.
Be safe and unplug first!

Pretty straight forward easy. Go to the machines manufacturers Internet site and look up an exploded view of its workings. Some sites have self help with step by step instructions.

I agree with Rifleman. The situation is no more difficult than having the correct replacement and noting how you take the old one out.
Certainly you can take the old to a shop to have it tested, and without knowing the age or use of the appliance it's up to you how you want to spend time and money.
Easy,,, in this case, is pretty straight forward.
