Probably a problem with the drive cable. See:

You can fix this without replacing the cable. After removing the upper
end from the motor, pull the inner cable out. Heat the metal end of the
outer with a heat gun and pull it off. Cut 5 - 10 mm from the plastic
outer, then reinstall the metal end. Slide the inner back in and
reattach.
