If your motor has completely stopped working or seems like it doesn't shake like it used to, chances are good that the motor brushes are worn out.  The motor brushes are available from supplies under part #20-9604 and are about $30.  The brushes can be removed without removing the motor from its frame; they snap into place.  The pictures below show the relevant parts.
