Window regulator motor keeps burning out

Wondering if anyone else has ran into this problem.... Have replaced the driverside window regulator three times now and 2-48hours later the motors have burnt out of them and stuck in the down position. I have replaced the wiring harness on the driverside and replaced the window switch for it and still am experiencing problems. Most recently brought it to a shop and they said they found no shorts in the wiring. 2013 328i xdrive f30 n20. Any comments appreciated

Did you try making sure it window goes up and down freely? Something must be blocking it or causing too much effort to move.

Make sure the window tracks aren't too loose causing the window to come out of the tracks, fall to the bottom and becoming wedged
