How can I fix my lazy susan?

My lazy susan will barely move. It's grinding against the bottom wood. It only has a toaster, a blender, a small popcorn maker, a small food processor, and some kitchen towels stored in it. It originally rotated just fine. The countertop has already installed. Is this lazy susan fixable or does it need to be replaced? I saw an idea where you put a standard base cabinet in at an angle to bypass a kazy susan. What to do at this point?

Don't know if this will help but this explains 3 different ways to adjust a lazy susan.

Have you tried removing some items? I know it sounds silly and counterproductive, but maybe there is too much weight on it?
Have you checked under the bottom layer to make sure nothing is stuck under it, or that nothing has fallen off (for example a screw, etc.)?
Have you cleaned it with furniture polish lately? I know my cabinets during Humidity get all sticky and I need to apply Lemon Pledge at least once weekly just to get rid of the stickiness. This should create a smoother motion.
That's a good idea. I have had problems with bookcases that bow out, irregardless as to whether there is a permanent shelf (3 versus 6 shelf bookcases.) Someone said they thought it was due to higher humidity levels in the house. But this started when i was running the a/c all the time during the summer.
