waterworks hd reel dead!

[Hiace Nostalgia]

afternoon  all. just had my 3 month old waterworks electric reel die on me- nothing happening on the button at all. was reeling in, it started going slow as the hose was bunched up round a corner then suddenly died. 40a fuse seems fine, checked all other connectors. does it have some kind of safety cut out when under prolonged heavy load? any help much appreciated!?

I would change the fuse evan if it looks ok just to be sure . There is no thermal cut out that Ime aware of .

thanks @Pjj manage to locate the issue- the yellow button had broken, so just swapped the wires to the bottom "spare" button and we were back in business! are these a weak point? I've never heard of problems with before personally?

Not that Ime aware of I know some have had new reels delivered with loose wires inside the box but that’s about it
