Motor getting stuck when unloading filament

Hi there!

So when I try to unload the filament, everything gets stuck and the motor gets very loud.
This only happens, when I unload. NOT when I load.

So I opened the extruder pully. But everything was clean and properly set up.

When I remove all gears inside, the motor works just fine and has great power. But when I add the gear and wiggle it, it gets stuck again. I added a video.
Any ideas what the issue could be?

Done.

The support was very helpful. And send me two new gears.

I changed them and now everything works fine! 😍
