Z-axis not moving down

Hello there.

I'm printing stuff on my MK2S for several weeks now without any problems. Until today...

I was running a Z-hight calibration and the Z-axis moved up without any problems. After conforming that nozzle is clean and axis are both up the Z-axis went down towards the bed. While moving it suddenly struggled for 1-2 seconds and then it stopped moving.

When turned by hand (with power off) the Z-axis runs very smooth. So there is no sticking or something like that.
All cables look fine and it took me almost 10 hours to build the printer because I wanted to do everything correctly.

Has anybody an idea what could be wrong?

Cable break at the pinda probe ?

Is the red LED on the top of the pinda on ?
