Common winch failures

Hi All,

I am in the process of researching winches and from what I gather the US manufactured Warns are the way to go. So, in all of my research people have talked about winch failures with the Chinese made winches. This is not a debate on quality control Vs. US made. That decision is made. My question is what are common winch failures?

I am new to wheeling and have never used a winch to get unstuck but have use many different winches in the past for work and the only thing I have seen is cables breaking, hence the requirement for synthetic rope.

I've seen solenoids fail by themselves or from water intrusion and I've seen a motor just not turn for whatever reason.
