I replaced the switch (didn't help), but I have yet to remove the motor. Could the heat actually have an effect on the motor? I thought it may need greased, but like I said, it won't budge, even if I try to help it along. I'm open to any words of wisdom. Thanks,

I believe there is a therm resistor of some sort that prevents the motor from overheating, perhaps it is working oppositely?
