My first guess is the reversing switch is shot.. It is a DPDT toggle
switch. Best to not operate it when the wheel is turning, These
switches are rated for a certain max current and reversing a running
wheel may exceed the rating.

When I turn one of my brents on, it does not go on! Most of the time, it
will not work when the wheel is supposed go in the "normal" direction. When I
put it on reverse, however, then it will work.
Any ideas here?
Thanks!
