When you advance the film watch the little dot on the shutter release button, as I recall that should rotate with the film advancing & reverse when rewinding the film. It is posible the advance / rewind lever clutch, is hanging up after the rewinding of your last roll of film. See if that lever is snug & has not losend from use. Next roll of film, before putting in another roll, try applying some pressure to the bottom of the take up spool & give it a few cycles. Maybe you can diagnose it this way.
Also check to see that the shutter is firing with the lens off & light shining in there you should be able to see the pressure plate. Unfortunately, the only way to really know what is going on inside is to pull the shell off to check things for wear etc.
That is the only thing I can suggest at this time. I hope it helps.
Maybe some one else has had this problem & will post.
