Trouble with Nomad 3 Z Axis (It's Stuck)

I’m having trouble with the z-axis of my Nomad 3 CNC machine. It was working fine one day, and the next, it started juddering when trying to complete the initialization process.

Even when turning off the machine and unplugging it, I can only manually move the spindle a few centimeters, as opposed to its full range of motion.

I filmed a short video to better explain my issue. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KXb2H4naq_c

Any advice would be appreciated!

Hard to see what it could be from the video. But maybe slide your phone front-camera behind the spindle looking up to see of something has come stuck and is jamming it from the back.

Maybe the anti backlash-nut has come loose or something?
