Aside from hooking up / rigging up an LCR meter and checking the capacitance of the various 'phases', there isn't much you can do. This measurement might indicate a cracked piezo element or broken contact where the circuit looks like a OC.
Mechanically, there might be excessive surface wear / contamination on the friction surface. These are the first things I'd investigate. N.
