A worn or stripped drive gear inside the opener produces grinding that originates at the motor unit and is present even when the door moves slowly or not at all in Chevy Chase View.

A door that feels very heavy and won't hold its position when raised manually has a failed spring in Chevy Chase View. The spring's counterbalancing force is absent or significantly reduced in Chevy Chase View, MD.

The plastic or nylon drive gear that meshes with the metal worm gear wears progressively from normal operation and accelerates when the opener runs against elevated door resistance from a weakening spring or worn rollers in Chevy Chase View. A stripped drive gear produces a motor that runs freely without moving the trolley in Chevy Chase View, MD. The grinding sound from the stripped teeth sliding past the worm gear is the identifying symptom in Chevy Chase View.
A disconnected trolley carriage, where the emergency release has been pulled but not reconnected, produces the identical symptom to a stripped drive gear or a broken spring in Chevy Chase View. The opener runs, the trolley travels the rail, and the door sits stationary in Chevy Chase View, MD. Reconnecting the carriage takes thirty seconds and costs nothing in Chevy Chase View. The manual release test reveals this as the cause when the door lifts easily with the carriage already disconnected in Chevy Chase View, MD.
Incorrect travel limits stop the door before it fully opens or closes in Chevy Chase View, MD. An incorrect down-limit leaves a gap at the floor in Chevy Chase View.
