Might not have to buy a motor. As I recall, the "braking" comes from the relay shorting the motor, when the switch is returned to neutral or when the magnetic switch senses full travel. I don't believe that there are any mechanical breaking properties in the motor itself. I'd check the relay with an ohmeter to make sure that all of the contacts are "making" before tearing out the motor. Also, see if you can manually connect current to the motor in both polarities to test it's function in both directions. My bet is on the relay or the wiring, not the motor.
