My first thoughts are that you may simply have a lot of debris trapped between the knives. If you have already cleaned this area, then the troubleshooting would have to begin. If you do decide to purchase new trimmer blades, know that they are going to be between $40 and $50 bucks a piece. (There's two knives) After you install the knives, they then have to be calibrated for optimal function and to prevent premature failure and/or wear. If you happen to install new blades and the machine trims with success, and for many years, that would be nothing short of simply "great". Wishing you the best.
