It's normally the brushes in the top compartment that cause the issue.
You get a build up of carbon in there which conducts, blows fuses and burns

Top (looking at the motor mounted with the shaft in the lower position)? Just ensuring we are speaking of the same thing.

I am hoping a clean and brush replacement will work.
