Default Waterpik repair

Has anyone else fixed one of these with good/bad results?

I kept a Braun electric toothbrush working for YEARS past the expected
lifetime, with outboard batteries and a drop of oil on each motor bearing
every couple years. I'll bet a drop of oil on each end (if you can get to
the shaft at both ends) and let it soak in for a few hours will loosen the
motor up quite well. Eventually the brushes and or commutator wear away,
and that is the end of it.
