First verify that the magnet in the door and door frame switch are aligned. They should line up when the door is closed. Then check if power is getting to the step motor. Disconnect the power cable from the motor. Then use a multi-meter to check for a DC voltage reading of around 12 volts when the door switch is activated.

Why are the gears on my electric steps not working?
It could be that the gears are stripped on the motor (they’re plastic), so it only extends to where the bad spot is on the gears. If you can hear the motor spinning when the steps are stopped, that’s likely the problem. You could still have a bad controller, but in my experience, that’s the least likely possibility.

When does a step stop turning the motor?
It will stop turning when it can’t move anymore (i.e. step is fully extended or retracted). The gear linkage has a metal arm that moves the step in and out. When the motor moves the gear, the gear moves the metal arm either in or out which, in turn, moves the step.
