Default Driver's side window doesn't work!

I drive a 2002 Acura RSX and today I went to roll my window down and nothing happens. I checked all the fuses relating to the power windows and they were fine. I took off the door panel and made sure connections and the rail were ok and they were. When I press the window button I can hear a click but thats it. After a few clicks, I feel the motor and it is hot to the touch. Could this mean something is blocking the motor from moving so its getting hot? If anyone can help me troubleshoot this problem that would be awesome thanks!

Window regulator is shot. The part itself is about $150. Have fun!

Correct. Looks like the part is more expensive than I thought, $223 for passenger side and $246 for the driver side. (part 2 & 6 below)

Or go to car-parts.com and get a used one for under $100 with a 1 year warranty. Same thing happened to me and I got a new motor. easy peasy to put in.
