Mine doesn't have the "power open" feature; I have to crank it by hand. But the worm gear on the inside end of the knob of mine stripped out and mine wouldn't open when I turned the knob. I was able to get a replacement shaft with the gear on the end from the manufacturer. Can't remember how much it cost, but it wasn't terribly expensive.
Side note, the reason mine stripped out was I cranked it too hard trying to get the vent tightly closed, on more than one occasion. The worm gear is only pot-metal, so it will strip out easily. Better that easily-replaceable part strips out than something harder to replace inside the fan body!
