    Mine does the same,
    Give the motor a smack with a hammer, it should start working again.

    If it does start working you know that the brushes inside the motor are sticking and need replacing.
    If not, no idea.

    Probably easier and cheaper to replace it mate. They go for about £60 and it's not difficult to swap over.
