not sure if this is in the right section.

Just wanted to give all the other c/o owners a heads up.

last week i had been having trouble with my cutout and eventually it didnt want to work. took it apart today and noticed there was water in the motor itself and must have froze the motor. it does have its own seal. but im guessing because of the change in temperatures it wore out and allowed water in it. after sitting in a pile of uncooked rice it was dry and had some "right stuff" sealer to make a new seal. now its working great!

and just for the record itll be about 2 years since i bought this originally and this is the first issue i had with it.

It's pretty well known that these don't normally last too long due to their job and location. High temps, corrosive atmosphere, and water and such lead to short lives.
