An escalator can never break -- it can only become stairs. You should never see an "Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order" sign, just "Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience. We apologize for the fact that you can still get up there."

I have seen escalators sufficiently out-of-order that they were completely non-traversable.

My regular commute has been impeded by such a set of escalators (currently dismantled for repairs from fire damage) for weeks.

One or more steps completely missing. Or, more commonly, the escalator blocked off because some repairmen are working on it.
