On my third blower motor!

What are the main causes of blower motors to burn out? I have had a couple of a/c guys out here and none of them could give me an answer or fix the problem. The blower motor I have in there now just quit working one day with no smoking or burning smell (when the first one went out it was obvious) but when I took the motor out there are a few burn marks on the coil but it doesn't have that classic burn smell.
With the little bit of burn marks on the motor will I have to replace it? Is there anyway to test it? What about a bad capacitor? The unit is a Intertherm 1/3 hp 4 speed. Winter is coming fast and anything you guys can tell me would be awesome. Thank you!
