I suspect it is just muck in the mechanism or in the drum itself. Strip and clean it and all will be well...... until the next time!

Agreed, just sounds like it needs to be serviced which isn't a difficult job to do.

Really does sound like it needs the drum coming off and all the muck n stuff cleaning out.

Or alternatively, fit a X-brake arrangement from X-Eng.
