Why did my roller luggage's wheels stop turning smoothly?

Two weeks ago, my carry on worked perfectly. But last week the detachable wheels stopped rotating smoothly, when I tried to glide my carry on. The wheels budge JUST A TAD when you push them hard, but it should be EFFORT LESS! Here are two pictures.

I see nothing jammed in the wheels. I ventilated wheels with my hairdryer. I hosed water into wheels. But nothing fell out. Why are the Wheels still stiff?

How exactly is this a question about physics and not about DIY repairs? In order to make this a valid physics question you would at least have to offer some theory of forces, moment, measurements, expected friction and whatever else may be relevant.

He was asking why it was happening which is for friction or something similar to it. But if he wants us to say how to repair it than I will remark it as off-topic.
