Kwikee has a nice troubleshooting guide on their web site, once you perform the simple steps you will know if it is a door magnet, a motor or the control board.

You've had much better luck with step motors than I have.
My last coach, a 2012 Georgetown, I owned 9 years. During that 9 years, the step motor quit and I replaced it, twice.

Now, I carry a spare motor with me for the steps. Of course, now that I have a spare motor for the steps, it'll be something else that breaks next time, haha.
