Magnetic Encoder Advice

We have been relying on the kit magnetic (rotary) encoder to measure the position of an arm, with decent success. However, at one point today, our encoder just stopped giving us good data (0 for position, 0 for magnetic field strength.) We are using it in SPI mode. We've ensured all proper wiring--and it's definitely giving a signal--when it doesn't, it reads 255, not 0.

Anyone else face similar problems/have suggestions?
