I about had the same situation happen today for me and my families turkey day feast. I was setting the kettle up, put on the roti ring, plugged in the motor, hit he switch and nothing...Tried a different outlet and nothing still. I had the coals already lighting at this time so I took the motor housing off, wiggled wires, tapped coils and moving parts, of course gave it the old shake and swear method then finally gave the little drive mechanism thingy a spin and it took off! But, it did sound different from before. It got me through the cook just fine, but I'll be calling Weber cs and finding that backup.
