After several years good service, I am finding the the brush stops rotating, usually when pulling it backwards. It is not blocked or seized up as it starts again after a few seconds. I am suspecting a poor electrical contact. Is this likely?

    We believe it is not likely to be an electrical contact, check for something stopping the brush bar at the ends.
