It's called a "motor". 
Your window motor is dying and soon you will be unable to move the window at all if you don't replace it. Motors with lifetime warranties cost $50-$70 at AutoZone and similar parts stores.
The power window module is not the problem. It doesn't do anything except keep applying power after you release the button for the express down function. It isn't even in the circuit for putting the window up.

My passenger side window motor died on me Jan before last. My driver side is 99% dead now, it takes FOREVER to get it up OR down. I will be replacing it with another Siemens(lifetime warranty from Auto Zone) like I have in the pass side very soon. BTW, it's a fun install

I replaced mine with an ACI motor from Advance Auto. It was $55 and came with a lifetime warranty. The nice thing about it was that it is much faster than stock (more like newer GM vehicles). In fact, I was thinking about changing out the passenger's side just for the extra speed. Their part number is 82460 (same for both sides).
Try about 20 bucks shipped with a lifetime warranty my friend!
