Based on the recommendation from alaxfire I was able to find a new replacement pump at a great price and opted to get it. I do intend to disassemble the old unit to see what exactly is going on inside. If it's repairable I'll repair it and have it available as a backup or sell it to someone in need.

Based on your experience what have you seen that causes these pumps to fail? Thanks
The brushes get burnt up and/or stick in the holders.
