If you did all those things and you know to remove the case put a few drops of WD40 on the bearings of the carrier motor in the left rear of the T/W.

try wiping the large bar that runs left to right under the carrier with a cloth wet with a light oil and then move the carrier by hand to see if it will free up. Be sure the typewriter is turned off.
