Can you gently turn the spindle by hand to see if it moves or even if it starts to turn by itself (if the power is switched on) once you try to turn it?

You don’t say the model number of the toothbrush but looking at the image at Step.12 in the ifixit [guide|100186] guide, the spindle appears to be the rotor part of the motor itself.

If it is humming but not turning it may be that there is not enough power to initially start the motor rotating or the spindle is jammed somehow.
