Mirror doors were opened without issue right at the start of ES to take sky flats. The mirror doors were then closed to take darks, but upon trying to open them again after, only the north mirror door was opening. The motors were attempted to be spun manually, however they were found to be very hot and put a lot of resistance to being spun. Throughout the course of this troubleshooting process, the mirror doors were opened and closed with DFMTCS multiple times. Eventually, when the mirror doors were opened in DFMTCS again, they all opened up normally without touching the motors. We are unsure why the mirror doors opened properly this time.
