Default Hy-Gain Rotor control and rotor
It might help to know the model in question.

Some things to check are the continuity of the wires to the motor
windings, and whether there is a purely mechanical jam. Finally,
most/many rotors have a phase shift capacitor between windings. If
they fail open, everything will look fine, but the rotor will not
develop enough torque to turn the antenna.
