Realaxiom B+ Clicking noise

[sharsch]

I have a Realaxiom B+ that has been working great up until yesterday. It started making clicking noises as the resistance being adjusted. The power output (in Zwift) seems to be off from what it used to be. I was pedaling like mad and only getting about 1/3 of the watts. I have used it for 5,500 miles since I started using it in November 2017. What is the expected life span? Am I due for a new one? I was think a direct drive for the next one.

Thanks for any input.
