I heard that. I think as long as you seal the white cover back tight you won't have to worry about moisture getting into the motor and seizing it up.

You have to switch the armature out for sure. Tried it without switching it out and it just spins. Switched them out and worked like a charm. Thanks for the info guys!

Okay. I think I'm going to try it. Wish me luck.

I don't know how to take the white piece apart from the motor. I didn't want to break it and I don't know where these "tabs" are to seperate the two pieces.

To the people who have bought the eBay replacement motors.... Can you just replace the entire motor without replacing the internals? I am asking because I cannot get the motor apart to clean and/or replace. Are there any risks just replacing the whole motor or is it just not physically possible because of size? Thanks!
