I have a 3 stage flap actuator and every now and again my flaps will not work. Dont know whether its the flap switch or motor. Has anyone had similar problems??

My flap motor in RV-7A stopped working today March 2021. It has only 86 TT. I opened it and it is full of black stuff. I see Van's writeup about cleaning it. Is it worth it or should I buy a new Van's motor or a new other flap motor. I don't want to remove and clean this every 100 hours or at every annual.
Have those of you who have cleaned it had recurring problems or does one good cleaning solve it?
Does the PH Aviation Services similar flap motor have issues?
thanks for your knowledge.
