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 South Blooming Grove.

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 South Blooming Grove.

The grinding sound from the stripped teeth sliding past the worm gear is the identifying symptom in South Blooming Grove.
