Lofrans windlass will only do down

[lateron]

Hi.
I have a Lofrans windlass on my 2004 Jeaaneau 32.
Not used it for a while and now it will only operate in DOWN . Nothing happens when I press the UP on the remote control.
I have taken the remote apart and cleaned/WD40 it. Nothing seems loose or corroded.
I went below and examined the underneath of the windlass where all the connections and control box/solenoid are.
Everything seems fine and tight. I have tried a new fuse but still no UP!

Any suggestions please. Don't want to buy a new remote and then find it still doesn't work. I might try and borrow a remote from a fellow 32 owner near me next time I see them and see if that operates the windlass on my boat.

Check out the voltages available on the solenoid. It maybe that the contacts that give you up have failed and a quick multimeter check will show this.

Thanks Sitara I'll give it a look when I'm next down there.

I have just had the same problem on my 2001 Jeanneau 43 DS, control will operate windlass to drop chain but will not work to bring it up. It is the same windlass as yours and I'm wondering what your solution was.
