You're correct - the motor didn't really seem to be off in the OFF position. I'm also a little unclear with your drawing. What are you considering L1 & L2 to be as well as the 2 wires connected to the center of the dpdt switch? Is L1 & L2 the blue and yellow wires or my black & white AC in line? I tried this type of wiring setup and got forward and reverse to work, but the motor hummed and seemed to experience a magnetic field when in the OFF position. Thanks
