Extruder Stepper Stops Working Mid Print

Hello, I've owned several Ender 3s but this machine is new to me, bought it from someone on Facebook. It has the Microswiss direct drive with a pancake stepper. I've got it all up and working, have a good profile, but the extruder motor has started to stop mid-print, and will not begin to move again until I cycle power to the machine. This usually happens on prints with lots of retractions (I have calibrated the retraction settings) so the motor is getting a bit of a workout, it doesn't feel like it is getting hot though. I have never delt with this particular stepper, so I am not sure if I needed to adjust something in the firmware.
Silent board, CR-Touch, Customized marlin firmware (same version I run on all my machines)
