No, it doesn't. When it happened to me, I opened the ER hatch and didn't hear the motor running either.
There should be a relay somewhere that uses the DC signal from the control panel to turn on the AC circuit to the motor. The motor works, so I would follow the AC power lines from it. I suspect that you will find a relay, or an SCR (silicion controlled rectifier - fancy name for a digital relay). Once you find the relay, turn the system on and try to measure the DC voltage on the control side of it. The panel should send either 5v or 12v to it. If you see the voltage on that side, but the motor still doesn't run, the relay might be toast.
