Fred,

A few questions and thoughts,

Are you powering this at 4.5 volts using a decent power supply? This might impact the failure issues you have.

have you considered trying a repair? All the electric components in the nuclear plant can be bought for $10-12. These small dc motors seem to be the standard for hobby projects so I don't think we can hang them on Menard. Plus, for Led repair you could use a led motherboard like @Rod Stewart produces for passenger car lighting.

Might be fun since I think a lifetime warranty and a repair center may not have been in the Menard business plan at this price point.

My email is in my profile if you want to trade a dead one for a good one. These are too cool to pitch!
