T&T: ANchor windlass quesstion

[Vance Nelson]

You should check the brushes in the windlass.  If they are worn down, you
may hear that sound as they arc to the armature.

I have an Easy Anchor Puller windlass, which up till today worked  flawless.
 
I have 13 volts to the switch , thru the switch, and at the windlass.
 
When I hit up or down, the celinoids make a "krinling" (sorta like bacon  
frying) noise but won't activate the windlass. Nothing seems to be burnt or

burning. I would guess the sound is they are not activating.
 
Any sugestions on what to check.? I can't imagine both celinoids going out  
at once. Any idears will be greatly appriciate, pulling the anchor by hand  
sucks.!  

Happy  Cruising!
