 The flap drive is well known to jam if it is run to the end of its travel.
 Normally, the NC contacts on the flap relays short the motor when power is
 removed.  This causes the motor to stop rotating very quickly, and without
 this shorting you will see the "coasting" you described.  I would look for a
 broken wire first, then try a different relay.
 
 I once had a failure of the flaps to go up, though they would go down.  When
 I started troubleshooting, they started working again.  I replaced the
 up-limit reed switch when I got home and have never had another problem.
 
 Good luck,
