Just watch your video nice set. Cleaning variable caps can sometimes be a pain in the back side. Have had do its more than once. Try taking a flashlight and a lens and look down between the blades might be full on gunk. Mr Fixr55 has given you lots to check might take 4-6 tries to get it good and clean. Good Luck
