Jebao RW magnet reversed?

Why can't I get my RW magnet to stick anymore? It opposes it now. If I reverse the outside magnet to have the plastic side facing the magnet, it adheres.

Have anything next to it? A speaker or appliance? A magnetic field that is equal to or greater can reverse the polarity of some magnets like a ceramic magnet. I dont know what kind are in jebao plates but I'd assume they are not rare earth magnets.

Nope, it's isolated. It was near other powerhead magnets during the move, however.
