Mazda 626 electric window issues

The driver's door electric window on my Mazda 626 goes down when the button is pressed, but I have to wait about 5-10 minutes before it will rise when again the button is pressed to close the window. As the window rises it will go up to about the half way mark before it grinds to a halt and sometimes slides back down again some of the way. If I switch off the motor and leave it off for 3-5 minutes I can more often than not get the window to rise all the way when the ignition is switched back on. Do you know what the problem might be and can I swap either the rear window motor or the passenger window motor for the driver's window?

It's most likely the window winder motor that's the problem and you should be able to switch the motor from one of the other doors to the driver's door.
