Medela Freestyle - losing suction?

I've been using my Freestyle for almost 6 months now and have recently found that the suction isn't as great as it used to be.  I'm not sure if it's the motor or the pump parts because when I disassemble everything and put it back together, it usually works pretty well, but it does add several minutes to the whole pumping process (makes it difficult at work!).  Has anyone else had issues with the Freestyle?  I do pump 3-5 times a day during the work week, but I have 3 sets of parts that I rotate through, so I wouldn't expect them to be worn out yet.  Just wondering if it's a problem with the pump or if I should replace the parts and see if that's the problem.

    I called and they sent me new tubes. I was sure it wouldn't help but it actually did.

    I trialed the freestyle for medela and after only a few months the whole pump stopped working pretty much.  It would kind of turn on, but the suction was next to nothing.  I got a new one sent to me since I was trialing it and they took mine back to do "research" on it.  I would call them and see what they say.
