Any idea what might be wrong when ... stones don't spin, but you can hear the motor is turned on? Sounds like what would happen if something was jammed and the shaft won't turn BUT I've checked and the disks spin freely when the motor is off. I'm not sure it's worth messing with unless someone can tell me what to check.
I’m having the same problem! I’m guessing that this problem (of the motor turning on but not spinning the wheels) is in fact the motor not working. Obviously this is an old comment, but if anyone else knows if this is true, please let me know.
