Most likely the bearing that the drive unit pivots on is bad. It causes the drive unit to twist when plugging, which causes the fan on the drive motor to hit the side of the case and lock up the drive motor.
There are usually metal shavings at the bottom of the motor from the fan visible.
There will not always be shavings. Yank the drive unit and check the bearing.
