Wilfa Svart - motor stopping

Hello everyone,

I've had my wilfa svart for about a year and 4 months, and been using it daily for aeropress and filter brewing.
Last week the motor started sounding different, and would barely grind through a 14g of beans on filter setting, especially if i placed the beans inside the hopper before starting.
Eventually it could not grind french press without bogging down and then stopping.
Now, I've taken it apart to clean it out, but could not really see a reason why it shouldn't work.
Could not find a replacement motor, or heck even parts from anywhere.

Any help would be appreciated, I can attach pictures if needed, but everything seems box standard other than grounds everywhere.

Ps. Bought it second hand and it was full of old robusta( smelled horrible at the time), so I dont have warranty papers.

Thank you
Marcell

Anyone know whether this will resolve my issue with mine? It all started with a faulty rocker switch losing contact and the power cutting off. Resolved temporarily by taking apart the switch and cleaning the contact point only for it to go again (likely due to the banging required to remove the HUGE retention this grinder has!). In the end I cut the switch off and tried bypassing it by putting the 2 wires from the switch into a connector block. Seemingly now I have no power at all, and no continuity when checking across the 2 wires (is this because of the second switch though now that I think of it?) Anyway, it doesn't work... Mere minutes away from pulling the trigger on an Ode gen 2 I find this thread... Anyone know if this is likely to work?
