Probably the motor on its' way out. One of mine has a spate of not working every so often. Can't correlate it to weather conditions or anything. Just seems to get a strop on every so often!

If you are prepared to remove and strip the motor, you will find two microswitches inside. One is probably high resistance on its normally closed contacts.

Replacement switches very little from Maplin or similar.
