I would attempt to contact the manufacturer and see if any repair/parts costs will be covered. Some folks have said that they had some costs covered, while others have stated that they got no assistance from them, so I don't know what the outcome will be, but it is worth a try in my opinion. Really sorry for your trouble and I hope this helped. Best wishes.
