Hi,
I'd disengage the door and push the buton again to see if motor turns
and engage the door.

Try unplugging it again and replugging it. See if that will bump it
into working again. I had some lights that worked that way.

If a circuit board is going to fail it's usually on power up or power
down. Try leaving it unplugged for 10 minutes and plugging it in again.
That (Might) reset it.
