Breaks down all the time but good when it works

I bought this 2 years ago - it sat for 6 months before being installed (ie. wasn't used). A year after it was installed it broke down. The vent would rise but wouldn't stay up and would drop down again so you couldn't use it. As it was technically 18 months old it was outside of the warranty period. I had a Kitchenaid repair person fix it and replaced the armature motor, cover switch and another part (# W10421277). It worked again. I used the vent occasionally for another 4-5 months and now I'm having problems again. When I press the button the unit won't rise unless I continue to depress the button. It rises about 1/3 of the way and stalls. If I then continue to re-press the button many many times it will gradually inch it's way up. I have to stop pressing the button before it reaches the top (as it will then go down) but I have to press it for long enough so that it gets to the full extension so that the fan will then work. To get the fan to go back down I then have to press and gently hold the button down as if I stop so does the vent from going down. When the unit works it works well but it's been a pain in the neck. Not to mention the back as well since each time someone comes to repair it I have to disconnect it from the underfloor vent and lift out a very heavy and very awkward and bulky unit, not to mention refitting it again which is very challenging. The unit is expensive, the parts are expensive, the labour to repair it is expensive and its really not worth it. If it worked as it should then it would be great but it just doesn't.
