Similar thing happened on mine, and I was able to correct it by spraying silicone lube on all bearing points on the hub including the plate against which the coiled spring rubs. I also relocated the spring attach point, moving it further down the step to increase the moment arm. Nowadays, I clean and lube the step at annual time, and that keeps it working well.
