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.
