Why Does Tape Not Wind Onto Right Reel In Listen Mode?

I've tried different tapes, and the recorder sends tape from left reel but will not wind onto right reel, which results in garbled sound before coming to a stop with the loud beep. I can fast forward and then rewind or wind it by hand every few seconds, but at that rate it will take all day to transcribe 30 minutes of testimony.
