Z Axis calibration failing

My Mk4s suddenly started failing it's Z axis calibration - when I started my most recent print, instead of tapping the build plate, it rammed the nozzle down so hard I thought it might actually bend the plate, and then started grinding the stepper motors in an effort to push it further through.  I reran the calibration, including the load cell thinking it might have gotten out of whack.  The load cell failed repeatedly until I took the nextruder apart and reassembled it, then it started passing again.  But even with the load cell working, the Z axis calibration just rams the nozzle into the print bed and keeps trying to force it through.  Do I have a bad load cell?  Or is something else going on?  The printer has been working fine for about 6 months, in fact it just finished a print which worked perfectly, then this problem.

Typo in my initial post - should have said Mk4, not Mk4s, but I can't edit it.
