Yes this does sound like a blocked/jammed impellor. first drain the machine, then fully remove the coin trap window, followed by the yellow or grey depending on your model right angled cap. Then firmly but carefully pull off the yellow or grey part behind that, i usually grab hold of it with a pair of pliers and give it a tug. You will then see the impellor, usually an elastic band or similler wrapped round it, you may need a pair of long nose pliers to extract the culprit..... good luck
