I cleaned it out using CRC 5103 Quick Dry Electronic Cleaner, made sure all the magnet shavings were out. I lubricated the step gearing with DuPont Teflon Chain-Saver Dry Self-Cleaning Lubricant which will NOT attract dirt ( I use it on my old motorcycle's chain) It actually works better that I have ever seen it work.


When I was researching the repair I found a replacement motor in the amazon warehouse for $50 and will be adding it to my spares kit. Hope I never need it though.
