Hi Rob! You didn't mention a brand, but there may be a trouble shooting guide online for your brand since you have checked for obvious causes.
Hi! Have you removed the hose and checked to see if there is suction at the inlet?
If is suction, you have a clogged or pinched hose.
If no suction and the motor is running freely, check to see if there is any debris in your motor cage.
I hope that helps

How old is the unit, perhaps the motor is getting weak.
I would return it.
Drop a marble through the hose after to see if there's something jammed inside or try running water through it. .
Hi Rob, glad you got it working again. I once had a rental unit and furnished the renters a vacuum cleaner. When they moved out I was vacuuming and it was so clogged it wouldn't pick up even a small piece of paper. The ENTIRE flex hose was filled with so much stuff I had to dig out bit by bit. UGH!
