Three common problems on that mechanism: 1. Front loading gears get out of alignment. There is a kit of improved parts.; 2. Molded pin breaks off of plastic main slide and jams mechanism.; 3. Dirty mode switch causes all sorts of problems. You might try running the loading motor from external power to check out the mechanism.
