I've had a 2 occurences of a HSH hopper jamming in the last week. This hopper was rebuilt about 18 months ago. No issues until this week.

2 FLASHES, PAUSE, 3 FLASHES HOPPER 3 JAMMED
The first time I found a small wing nut mixed in with the coins. I assumed this was the cause of the jam, although I didn't actually see anything jammed.
The second time I dumped the coins and could not find anything jammed. The wheel turns freely, etc. I don't see anything that appears to be worn or damaged.
Any advice on where to look or which parts to check?
Both times the hopper was nearly full. Is a full hopper more likely to jam due to weight?
