Sounds like you have a physical blockage at the tuner that is keeping it from moving the full range. This could be something that has fallen into the plates or a wire or some such blocking the dial drum from moving farther. It's also possible that the dial string is getting wound on top of itself at the tuning shaft. At any rate, it's likely something very simple.
