This is likely my problem, my 3000 is a couple years old but has hardly been used! This video is helpful, and yah, looks like several others finding the same problem as well. I think this is what my issue is because I can bang on the side of it and it intermittently starts working with each bang, so this wire being busted would explain that.
I tore it down and as it turned out this wasn't the issue! It was a problem where the lug/spade type connectors mate the switch body to the stator housing and also make electrical connection there. These are not good connectors and tend to arc while in operation and after awhile get pitting and corrosion causing the connection to get too loose to make proper contact. One of the four on mine was really bad. I had to take a micro sized jewelers screwdriver and bend one-half of the connecter receptacle on the stator housing to make for a tighter fit when the pin was inserted. I also used a bit of contact cleaner. Works now, but this will likely re-occur at some point so I'm thinking about possible longer term solutions in the meantime.
