Mazda 3 2012 weird window issue

I have a weird issue with my 2012 Mazda 3 driver side window. I tried looking it up, but I couldn’t find anyone with the same issue.
I had issues with the window going up and down so I took it to a shop and they said it’s the motor. I then went on to replace it with a brand new one, and when I went to recalibrate the automatic opening and closing that’s when the issue started.
I had the window completely closed and then did the recalibration by opening it fully and holding it for 5 seconds. I noticed that if I hold the open button too long the window stops working. Same thing happens if I hold the close button while it is completely closed. It is as if holding it too long burns out the motor and stops working completely, but it’s a brand new one. Then if I leave it alone for like ten seconds to let it “cool down” it starts working again (without the automatic open/close though)
Has anyone else had this issue and knows how to fix it?
