The float does seem to move okay, and I can hear the thing click when
I lift it.

In the past, some water would spurt up through the arm, but not enough
to spin it or even make it telescope out properly. It would just gush
then overflow out of the arm. So, I am assuming that my motor was the
problem, since it evidently was not spinning at all and just sitting
there humming. Fortunately, I never ran it long and stopped it as
soon as I noticed the problem.

Thanks for your reply!
