Question on Superwinch Terra 35

Got myself into a roll over yesterday, went to use the winch to try to upright myself and it quit after a couple seconds. Once I got the machine back on it’s feet the winch started working again.

Are the solenoids on these winches truly directional where they won’t work when on their side? Or do I have a crap solenoid? This is like the second time using this winch, first was just a high center stuck, this was a hard roll over.
