^ Yea, took mine a few times too, you don't need to close it all the way just back and to a little on the rocker switch to the point where it is sticking, I personally wouldn't be that worried about burning the motors out, if they go - then they would have been on the way out anyway, they are designed to do millions of operations without burning out! Funny, Pete, I'm just over the border in Cheshire and the OP is near Manchester, maybe it's something in the air?
