Wow, it seems like it should have lasted much much longer! pardon my asking: was there any event that you can remember or did it seem to just randomly die?
I ask because I have a 2010 that's 2 years old now and I hope I'm going to get many more years out of it!
ETA: I found the motor for it at my usual place where I've ordered accessories.
