I have a Crosley Radio CR246 turntable with CD Recorder. The CD door will not open. Whether I press the manual Eject button or the remote eject button, the display reads OPEN. The display then reads CD LOAD, but of course there's nothing to load since the door didn't open! There is no sound coming from the unit (like a motor attempting to open the drive, nothing like that). Help!
Try checking these:
- the CD door motor rubber drive belt (if there is one), it could be either loosened or broken, if so, it needs to be replaced
- the door open/closed sensor switches (contacts), they could be oxydized or damaged, they are located somewhere under the CD tray, possibly at the front end of the unit (depends on brand and model), you need to clean these with some fine sandpaper
It could be something else like the door motor driver IC, the power supply for the motor, a bad capacitor in the motor drive section, a loose connection or a broken wire somewhere, but hopefully, it's just a bad rubber belt or a dirty contact.

I had a problem with a crosley cd not opening. The problem was the plastic pulley on the motor was loose on the shaft of the motor. I pulled it off and glued it back with J.B. weld to fix the problem.
