The failure could be because of anything from a bad belt, bad gear, motor, or it's unplugged. If you wish to open it, you can by inserting something like a straightened paper clip in the small hole under the tray on the exterior. Push it in until you feel resistance, the tray will have to be pulled out once it is freed.
