Broken Down Duplo 645 Cutter

Greeting print community! I have a Duplo 645 with cutter cycling issues. I replaced the brushes on the motor and now it cycles inconsistently. Instead of the blade being in the up position it variably falls in the middle range. Any ideas? Thanks
 
I was thinking since the motor runs the brushes were ok. The brushes were almost completely gone. I bought a kit of 10 different brush sizes and we cut them down as a guess and one of the guys in our shop soldered them to the original caps.
 
Check the surface of the commutator, it may need cleaning/polishing.
Also, make certain the surface of the brushes is pressed evenly against the commutator.
 
Check the motor as said, Also the gears that drive the motor/knife assy. No parts are available for the 645 knife/motor unit. There is a sensor that detects the knife in the up/home position so you should be getting a knife error
 
Thanks, the sensor is rough. The person I bought it from, used a foreign cable and/or sensor. It looks like it should be a problem. The not cycling home position only happened after we tried fixing the motor. Apparently I was supposed to use graphite instead of just carbon for the brushes. Plan to switch that out and clean the surface as advised.
