You may have unknowingly set a limit on your box so it does not move further west.

See if you can reset your motor settings with putting limits off.

Limits are good though beacuse they can stop the dish hitting the wall should you go too far & by putting an East & West limit at the last point before the wall it saves damaging anything.

Hi. If your motor is only 12 months old very unusual to break down. What model is it?? Also are you using USALS or DISEQC (1.2)? If using USALS it should automatically move to any satellite. Try pressing the reset button on the motor if it has one. Also try to move it west manually using the remote or the buttons on the motor. Regards.

Use the receiver to drive it to "0" then reset the motor if that doesn't work look at setting limits on your motor there may be a hardware limiter thats shaken loose.

you could also check for any obstructions by the dish/motor....
