Is there a wiring junction box on the motor, in/around where the power cord enters the motor? Could be as simple as a wire nut falling off of a factory connection. I've had that happen.
Check wire insulation for even the slightest damage- fraying or cracks. Give them a few wraps of good electrical tape.
Electrical gremlins, they'll drive you nuts, for sure.

Be sure the hot wire has not been swapped for the neutral.
Thanks I'll check these tomorrow
