I had the same problem with mine and in time it quit running. I also had the warranty and had it replaced after I had to wait of 7 days for them to restock them. I paid for the warranty on the new replacement one. The warranty for such a small price is worth it.
Totally agree. Seems like it is internal to the motor. Second one of these that has failed in 5 months :(. First one started making noise and then seized. This one seems like it is days away from the same fate. I am thinking I will make my own tumbler or definitely upgrade.
@@WisconsinRocks This is the problem with harbor freight. It's cheaper to buy another one from them then to just buy the same motor from some where else and make your own or repair the broken one you got.

Sounds like the armature is out of balance or a bearing has failed.
