I would probably say that the motor brushes are wearing out. If it is this you will find that after a while switching it to full speed first won't work either.

I had very similar problems. There were loads of causes suggested but I simply went to the breaker's yard and found another motor (for £10) and replaced the problematic one. This has now been fine for about 5 years!

I recently had this problem. It turned out to be bad / dirty connection between brushes and commutator in the motor. Took rotor out cleaned surfaces and and works ok. I had to bend tabs back which hold brushes in to get rotor back into place I guess they would snap off if you did this more than once
