Windlass stops under load

I have a Simpson Lawrence Windlass which allows me to drop the anchor
without any issues, but it stops when retrieving the anchor line when
it meets any significant resistance (e.g. when the chain starts to
lift off the bottom of the river).

If I send it down again it rolls fine, but up there is barely movement
before it stops.

To diagnose this further and try to fix the issue, what steps should I
take? Does this sound like more like a faulty control switch, or an
issue with the motor?
===================================

If the motor is running but the drum is slipping, the clutch pressure
needs to be tightened. If the motor is stalling out, check your
electrical connections. If all of the above checks out, you either
have a problem in the gearbox (very common), or a defective motor.
