After storing for a few months, I flip the switch, and it is making a humming noise. However, the barrel does not spin, I cannot spin it manually before I take it apart, I was wondering if anyone had experienced the barrel, frozen or not spinning. I did check in the breaker button is not tripped.
Is this a good question?

There should be a large capacitor on the motor. That could of gone over time. Most mixers are ran on a worm drive gearbox so you can't rotate the drum by hand. Is there any way to safely rotate the drive mechanism? It could be jammed with sitting.

After testing, it appears to be a dead capacitor. Thank You!
@Joseph Galaska No problem, hope you get it working.
