How can I fix my Simpson Genesis Model 523?

The fault is that it only 'agitates' in one direction.
The 'Capacitor' has been replaced previously for the same problem, but has re-occurred. If you fiddle with a little lever that you cannot see, it will sometimes agitate in both directions for a few weeks, and then revert back to not agitating at all.
