It is unusual for either one of those to stop working mid-cycle, but not unheard of.
The microswitch in question has two parallel strips, and it can develop a hairline crack in a number of places. You have to examine it with a magnifying glass and test it for continuity, preferably when the top has stopped operating.
When an electric motor has a dead spot, it will spin, but not usually start spinning when it is at the dead spot. Once it starts spinning, the dead spot usually does not have effect because it rotates past the dead spot while it's spinning.
Also, if you can swap somebody else's double relay when you get the top stuck in mid-cycle, that might help you pinpoint the source of the problem.
