PROBLEMS WITH MY DISKDRIVE

Lately I have been experiencing some problems with
my diskdrive on my ST (1040). When the machine has been running some
time and I write something to my disk (or read something from it)
it will keep on spinning (red light also remains on). It seems to be
due to the heating of some part, since it does not happen when the machine
is cold (boots). A warm boot exstinguishes the light for a moment,
bit does not solve the problem.
Has anyone had similar experiences with his ATARI, and if so what
was the solution?
Any comments are appreciated.
