Good day folks,
today i removed the actuator motor to replace the gear that's known to wear out. Well, no smoking gun but i will replace it. However I did notice something unusual with the electric motor. I turned it and it has a "stepped" or "notched" rotation. Here's a brief video...

uncertain if this is a stepper motor. is this normal or is the motor kaput?
thnx for any input.
