Your motor needs a comm and brush cut, almost guaranteed.

See if you can free up the brush. It should spring back and hit the comm when you pull on the little copper braid a bit.

I probably sent two bags on purpose, don't worry about it. Are the brushes free sliding in the brush holders? |

Right. If you take the spring off, do the brushes slide in and out smoothly? Probably a hung brush.
