We were able to get it unstuck but now when we lift up on the foot switch it starts but then stops when we let go. We can get it to run through its complete cycle as long as we hold the foot switch up. As soon as we let go it stops running, it does however change directions to go back up but will not go completely up without holding the foot pedal up. I'm thinking it needs a new switch but I'm not sure which one.
