Took unit outside
removed the covers
cleaned dust and lint out with high pressure air
removed motor and tryed to repair it
when this didnt work I took it in to my desk and ordered a new motor on-line, this was at 2:30
the next day at 10;30 the new motor arrived via UPS. I installed it and the unit has run fine ever since.
