Garage Door Motor unit just hums

[Dan Yagow]

When turning the on/off switch or using the remote, the opener just hums. The light comes on but opener does not engage into closing or opening.

Probably forgot the lyrics. I do that too.

Without taking the cover off and telling us what you see I doubt we can help you. May be a stripped gear, broken belt, motor or drive bound up or a bad motor.

Thank you for sharing.

Don'tcha just hate when that happens.

From what your post says about you, you'd be wise to stay off the ladder, don't open the case, leave all your tools in the kitchen junk drawer, and call a repairman.

You need lyrics.

Contact me.

Likely needs the gear set replaced - nylon worm and pinion. About a half hour job -0 last set I did cost about $39.

Like most HomeMoanersHub posts, we'll probably never hear from him beyond the one hit wonder. Mostly two kinds of posters there. One asks a vague question and disappears. The others revive 10 year old threads and reply as if the question was asked yesterday.
