I had my Maxspect Gyre FX230 go down on me 4 days ago. Unfortunately, they have been discontinued for years and you can't find them anymore. So, I pulled it apart and it ended up being the shaft magnet had swollen inside the housing and was keeping it from spinning. In your case it might be something different seizing it up. Try soaking it in vinegar for 24 hours before you start pulling it apart, but if that doesn't work and you still want to try to salvage it, you might hat to open it up. I ordered 3 shafts and motor block doors from Coralvue. I'm running an apex Classic Jr. with my gyre's tied into my system with custom programing. The XF130 and XF230 are the only pumps that run seamlessly with my set up, so for me it was the path of least resistance to get my system back up and running without retrofitting anything new. You might have a different problem or setup and might not be constrained to keep the same pump. If so you might have to bite the bullet and get a new pump. Hope it helps.
