Overtime the motor may burn out and need to be replaced. Be sure that the PopLite is unplugged from the wall and has had time after use to cool down before working on it.

What new motor? Where do we get said motor, and what are the motor specs? What about installing the bridge rectifier on the new motor? A 3rd party supplier is not likely to sell these motors with the rectifier pre-installed.
