Re:Gaggia MDF LockUp - 2007/08/14 19:10 Sorry I have not jumped in earlier - I dare say (with my knowledge of electric motors--fairly advanced) that one or the other of the motor brushes may be worn down after 7 to 8 years.

Any good electrical appliance repair person can tackle this fairly easily - it is a simple repair.

There is no actual "lock-up" happening. The brushes supply AC to the windings of the motor - they are in constant contact with the rotors on the motor. They wear out eventually.
I have had several electric lawn mowers that have gone through this - and it is a quick fix.
