If the feeder has a sight window or edges, they sometimes Leak during a rain. That can cause feed to clump up. Then when that clump works it’s way down to the spinner, it can hang up and burnout the motor.

I carefully clean any possible leak areas and caulk them

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
