The garage door opener sounds like it works but nothing happens?
When this happens it’s usually a stripped trolley (usually on a genie) or the internal plastic gears (Chamberlain, Lift-Master or Sears Craftsman).
Sometimes it may be as simple as your garage door openers manual release being pulled down. So you might want to check and make sure it’s engaged first.
